Dental calculus removal and sandblasting

Cleaning your teeth is very important because only by properly maintaining oral hygiene can we preserve the health of our teeth and extend their lifespan.

Soft dental deposits (dental plaque or biofilm) are constantly forming in the mouth.

If we don't remove them, they accumulate in layers and become dangerous for teeth and gums.

Description of the procedure

Cleaning of dental plaque

Scaling is the removal of hard plaque from the surface of the teeth, especially in areas that are difficult to reach with a toothbrush and floss. Calculus is formed by the mineralization of plaque and can cause problems such as gingivitis, periodontitis and tooth decay. The procedure is performed using ultrasonic instruments or hand-held instruments called curettes.

Sandblasting of teeth

A method of removing soft deposits, stains and discoloration from teeth using a jet of air, water and a fine powder (sodium bicarbonate or glycine). Sandblasting provides a feeling of smooth and clean teeth, and is particularly effective in removing surface stains caused by coffee, tea, tobacco or red wine.

Candidates

People who have tartar or soft plaque that is difficult to remove by brushing alone.

People with teeth discoloration due to food, drink or smoking.

Patients who have gum problems (gingivitis or periodontitis) because cleaning tartar helps treat inflammation.

People who want to improve the appearance of their teeth.

Preparation

No preparation is necessary. It is recommended to come to the procedure with clean teeth so that the dentist has a better overview of the situation.

If a patient has very sensitive teeth or gums, they can talk to their dentist about using anesthetics.

Procedure progress

Limescale removal

The dentist uses an ultrasonic device with a vibrating head that removes tartar.

The procedure can take 15-30 minutes, depending on the amount of deposits.

Sandblasting

After removing the scale, a sandblasting machine is used to clean the remaining deposits and stains with a jet of air and powder.

The procedure is quick and takes a few minutes.

After the procedure, the teeth can be polished to achieve a shiny appearance.

Recovery

After the procedure, teeth and gums may be sensitive for a few hours. This is especially true for people with sensitive gums or those who have had a large amount of tartar removed.

In the first few hours after the procedure, it is recommended to avoid very cold, hot, or sour-spicy foods.

After a few days, all unpleasant sensations should disappear, and your teeth will remain clean and smooth.

Precautions

If you have very sensitive teeth or gums, inform your dentist before the procedure.

People who have serious gum problems, such as periodontitis, should consult a dentist about appropriate treatments before sandblasting.

Regular oral hygiene and visits to the dentist are recommended to reduce the need for frequent tartar cleanings.

The procedure is common, safe and simple, and the results are visible immediately after the treatment.

I live in Sweden, and I'm currently on vacation in Croatia. A problem arose yesterday. An awkward meeting of the four on the left above and - crack. I call my former dentist. She's on vacation, but she recommends the Bagatin Polyclinic. Aren't they the ones that the famous and rich go to? I get an appointment for tomorrow morning, but I'm skeptical. They're probably just after crowns and implants. Wrong!!! The doctor who saw me is a very cool dentist. I emphasize, dentist. That means a doctor who puts your needs first. He listened to me and helped me completely in accordance with what I asked of him. Professionally, thoughtfully and carefully. And he even managed to make me laugh. Well done! Thanks to that, I will definitely keep the Bagatin Polyclinic in mind if I decide to have any serious dental procedures in Croatia. Thank you to the Bagatin Polyclinic and Dr. Radić!

"After years of hiding my smile, I can finally smile without shame again. Dr. Radić impressed me from the start with his expertise and calmness. Every examination and procedure was explained in detail, and I felt safe from the first contact. I would also like to especially praise the technicians who were always there with a smile and a warm word. The feeling that you are in the best hands is priceless.

"Dr. Bogdanić is incredibly meticulous, precise, and attentive. From the very beginning, she knew how to instill confidence in me and show me that my smile was in the right hands. The team of technicians was also outstanding – patient, gentle, and extremely professional. I can't believe I no longer have problems chewing, and the result is spectacular."

Frequently asked questions

What is tartar and why is it important to remove it?

Tartar is a hardened plaque (bacterial biofilm) that builds up on teeth and along the gum line. If not removed regularly, it can cause gum inflammation (gingivitis), periodontitis, bad breath, and even tooth loss. Professional cleaning prevents these problems and maintains oral health.

What does the tartar removal process look like?

The procedure includes:

  • removal of calculus with an ultrasonic device,

  • sandblasting to remove surface stains and pigmentation,

  • polishing teeth for a smooth and shiny surface,

  • if necessary – oral hygiene advice.

Is the procedure painful?

For most patients, the cleaning is not painful, but it can be uncomfortable if the gums are sensitive or inflamed. At Bagatin Polyclinic, the treatment is performed carefully and gently, and if necessary, local anesthesia can be applied to make the experience as comfortable as possible.

How often should dental tartar be cleaned?

It is recommended every 6 months , and for patients with periodontal problems even more often (every 3–4 months). Your dentist will give you a personalized recommendation.

Can tartar be removed at home?

Not. Tartar is hard and firmly attached to the surface of the teeth, so it can only be removed with professional instruments in the dental office. A brush and paste can remove plaque, but not tartar.
