At the Medical Clinic Podhale Art in Zakopane, we pay a lot of attention to dental prophylaxis, because it is of great importance in preventing caries and other diseases of the oral cavity. Each dental treatment is much more effective if the Patient regularly (at least once a year) performs oral hygiene.
The treatment of tartar and hard plaque removal is performed using ultrasounds or hand instruments. Tartar must be removed prior to further treatment and dental procedures. Scaling is a procedure that should be performed every six months to prevent periodontal disease. In most cases it is painless, but removal of the subgingival calculus may be unpleasant, so it is possible to use anesthesia.
This treatment is performed with the help of:
After removing the stone, the teeth may be sensitized for some time, which is why their smooth surfaces are covered with a special fluorine varnish, which also prevents caries.
The teeth sandblasting treatment is aimed at removing the remaining deposits, which arise mainly as a result of smoking and drinking coffee or tea. It is usually performed after removing the stone or independently. A dental sandblaster is used for teeth sandblasting. A fine powder is sprayed under pressure with water. Sandblasting is a completely painless procedure that does not require anesthesia. Repeated every six months, it improves the condition of teeth and periodontium. It prevents tooth decay and eliminates the unpleasant smell from the mouth, which is often a problem for patients.
Fluoridation is one of the methods of preventing the formation of carious lesions on the teeth. This method is quite effective because fluoride has a very beneficial effect on tooth enamel.
Tooth fluoridation (contact fluoridation) is a procedure for which fluorine compounds are used, i.e. a chemical element from the group of halogens.
It exhibits high chemical activity and is poisonous in high doses. However, in small doses, fluoride is necessary for the proper structure of bones and teeth. In dental offices, tooth fluoridation is used, where special gels, varnishes and foams with fluoride are applied to the cleaned surface of the tooth. This treatment is aimed at strengthening the enamel and making the teeth more resistant to pathogenic bacteria.
This is one of the methods of caries prevention, simple and painless. Most often performed on permanent molars and premolars, but also on deciduous molars. The procedure consists in filling the grooves on the chewing surface of the teeth with a special material, the so-called crevice sealant. Sealing should be done as soon as possible after the tooth has erupted. The treatment is performed on healthy teeth without carious changes.

This procedure is used in children when most of the tooth is damaged by caries and it is not possible to put on the filling. During the procedure, a solution of silver nitrate (lapis) is used. Silver nitrate stops the course of caries, thus preventing premature tooth loss. The downside of this method is the black discoloration of the tooth.
The dental check-up is one of the most important procedures performed in a dentist’s office. It takes little time but is of great importance for keeping your teeth healthy.
Regular oral examination (preferably every six months) allows you to prevent many diseases and recognize them at an early stage of development.
During the follow-up visit, the dentist, before examining the teeth and oral mucosa, asks questions about the current state of health – systemic diseases, chronic medications, pain or other disturbing symptoms of the oral cavity. After checking the condition of the teeth and periodontal tissues, the dentist provides hygiene recommendations and informs about the planned treatment plan.
Our specialists also advise on oral hygiene at home – choosing the right toothbrush (ordinary or electric), toothpaste, brushing methods, using dental floss, using fluoride rinses or irrigators.
