Sandblasting polishing of teeth

Dental sandblasting is a simple and non-invasive dental procedure that is performed to improve oral hygiene. In addition to a noticeable aesthetic effect, teeth sandblasting is also an important element in the prevention of caries, periodontal disease and other periodontal diseases. The sandblasting procedure involves cleaning the surface of the tooth with so-called dental sand, which is hard enough to get rid of plaque, including tartar, but at the same time soft enough not to damage the tooth enamel.

The teeth sandblasting procedure is not complicated. It is quick, simple and painless. First, the dentist will check the condition of the teeth and, if necessary, prescribe caries treatment or other procedures. In the next step, the dentist or hygienist will clean the surface of the teeth with so-called dental sand. After the procedure, you should not eat for at least two hours. Also, you should not brush your teeth on the day of the varnish application – up to 12 hours after the procedure. The sandblasting procedure is often combined with plaque removal as part of a so-called hygiene package.

• Deposits and discoloration – sandblasting is indicated when deposits from coffee, tea, red wine, cigarettes or other foods and drinks appear on the teeth.
• Preventive dental care is recommended as part of the prevention of oral diseases and helps remove plaque on a regular basis.
• Preparation for other procedures – sandblasting is often performed before teeth whitening or as a preparation for preventive and aesthetic procedures such as dental sealants.
• For patients with braces, it helps to maintain oral hygiene, whereas standard cleaning methods may not be sufficient.

• Tooth sensitivity – people with very sensitive teeth may experience discomfort, so your dentist may advise against the procedure.
• Inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity – the procedure is not performed if there is active inflammation, ulcers, bleeding gums, infection or periodontal disease.
• Diseases of the respiratory tract – diseases such as asthma and chronic bronchitis are contraindicated, as inhalation of fine sand particles can aggravate the condition.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding – although there are no obvious contraindications, some doctors may recommend avoiding sandblasting during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to the possibility of inhaling fine particles.
