Of course it is not harmful. There is even a department based on this process. Dental tartar is the causative factor of all gum diseases. Ultimately, it must be removed from the mouth by conscious and competent hands. However, staying away from oral hygiene practices with the mentality of “my dentist will clean it anyway” will lead to tartar accumulation after each procedure. The important thing is not to get the tartar cleaned, but to keep the teeth clean. Because scaling is not a cosmetic job, it is a form of treatment.
There is no period for this. Because the purpose of the time between examinations and check-ups is to keep the teeth and oral tissues clean. Instead, a physician check-up every 6 months would be a more appropriate recommendation.
It would be unethical for a physician to commit to any brand of toothpaste. What is important is not which paste you use, but to what extent you carry out mechanical cleaning procedures. It will not cause you any loss if your doctor does not recommend a brand to you. Any common paste will do. Because even brushing with water can show significant effectiveness.
Of course yes. Dental floss is one of the most helpful oral hygiene tools. The interdental areas, which we cannot reach with a toothbrush, are generally the starting point of all carious or gum-related diseases. The situation becomes even more important, especially in crooked teeth. Therefore, in addition to brushing your teeth, it is beneficial to floss once a day. Note: Please consult your physician which dental floss is suitable for you and how to use the floss.

There is no need for any other method other than classical methods to keep your teeth clean. In fact, misuse of corrosive substances such as baking soda or salt can cause dental wear or gum recession due to trauma. If methodical brushing with a suitable toothbrush and toothpaste can be made a habit, there will be no need for another unproven method.
In fact, this issue has divided the medical community into two. In addition to doctors who do not believe in its benefits, there are also colleagues who prove that the studies yield results. As Medikodent physicians, we accept that teeth whitening will be successful with the combination of appropriate technique, appropriate equipment, appropriate notion guidance and appropriate case selection criteria. Because if health is defined as a state of complete physical, biological and spiritual well-being, a person who is not satisfied with the color of his teeth and considers this a problem is considered unhealthy. For the person who fits this definition, teeth whitening will be a form of treatment. However, to be honest, the main problem of the patients who come to our clinic with the expectation of teeth whitening is teeth that look dirty with coloring agents, and the treatment for this is scaling and polishing, which is a professional but very routine procedure. And experience has proven that this procedure is the most appropriate treatment for many people. However, the method we call vital bleaching can be applied to people who want their teeth to look whiter. However, patient expectations should not exceed the limits of reality. Utopian expectations cannot be met in teeth whitening and dissatisfaction occurs. In addition, to give an example: It is necessary to take into consideration minimal damage, as much as the damage we see from tea or the radiation we receive while watching TV, and despite everything, teeth whitening can be done in the presence of suitable conditions. And getting successful results is not difficult at all.
