Teeth Cleaning (Diş Temizleme) in Turkey

The hygienist flosses between your teeth to remove any debris or remnants of trapped tartar.

• Rinsing

After scaling and polishing, the clinician thoroughly flushes your mouth to remove loosened plaque, tartar particles, and any remaining polishing paste. This is done with a water and air syringe plus high-volume suction, and some clinics add an antibacterial or fluoride rinse to lower bacterial load and support enamel. The goal is a clean, debris-free surface so any protective agents can work effectively; you will mainly feel a cool wash and gentle suction, with brief sensitivity possible around recently scaled areas.

• Final Check-up

The dentist or hygienist reinspects all tooth surfaces and gums to confirm there is no residual calculus or staining and that everything feels smooth, checking for bleeding points, inflammation, pocket depths, recession, and any sensitivity. They may smooth rough spots and apply desensitisers or fluoride if needed, then provide tailored aftercare such as brushing technique, recommended interdental tools, and mouthwash guidance. An appropriate recall interval is set, often six months or three to four months if gum disease risk is higher, and if deeper issues are found they will plan root planing, imaging, or a periodontist referral.

What are the Types of Teeth Cleaning Treatments in Turkey?

• Basic Professional Cleaning (Scaling & Polishing)

This is the cleaning procedure that uses a scale or an ultrasonic scaler to remove plaque and tartar manually, followed by polishing your teeth with an electronic toothbrush and abrasive paste to polish the teeth. 

• Deep Cleaning (Root Planing for Gum Disease)

Root Planning is when hygienists remove plaque and tartar from the roots to help with gum disease.  

• Laser Teeth Cleaning 

The process involves the removal of tartar, plaque, and gum infections using a laser beam.

• Airflow Cleaning (Stain Removal)

It uses compressed air, water, and a fine powder to remove dental plaque, stains, and biofilm from the surfaces of your teeth.

Benefits of Professional Dental Cleaning:

You would be surprised what removing plaque and Tartar can do to your overall health. Plaque and Tartar are dead bacteria, which are the main reasons for bad breath, gingivitis, or periodontitis. In more severe cases, Plaque and tartar could lead to a dental bacterial infection that could lead to severe diseases like sepsis, Necrotizing Fasciitis, and even Cerebral Abscess. To avoid all of this, you should keep your oral hygiene and get a professional teeth cleaning every 6 months. 

Who Should Consider Teeth Cleaning?

Anyone should consider regular teeth cleaning because it is the only way to remove tartar, and although most people who take care of their teeth don’t think they need it but they do because a professional cleaning would reach all the parts that your regular day-to-day brushing and cleaning can’t. 

How Often Should an Adult Get a Deep Teeth Cleaning?

It is generally advised that you get a check-up at least every 6 months.  Your dentist would then determine if you need a teeth cleaning or not. 

Tips for Dental Tourists Visiting Turkey

There is a checklist that has been posted by the NHS for anyone considering getting treatment abroad. There are big warning signs that you should avoid, such as offering treatment yet lacking information or not answering questions, hard-selling drastic cosmetic procedures, and pressuring you to get the treatment with no room for thinking or consideration, and most importantly, when they don’t talk about the possible complications that you might face. These are a few of the major signs to look for; you also need to prepare a list of questions to ask the clinic before setting foot in a new country.
