Air abrasion (also called sandblasting) is an effective way of removing unsightly plaque on teeth, most often caused by smoking, drinking coffee or strong tea. Such plaque is not just an aesthetic problem. It is also of great hygienic importance as it harbours bacteria and other microorganisms. If not removed, it can develop into hard tartar deposits. These, in turn, can become the cause of periodontitis, a condition that, in addition to the risk of tooth loss, can increase the likelihood of developing systemic diseases such as heart disease. Bacteria from the mouth can circulate with the bloodstream throughout the body, settling in areas with weaker immunity, leading to serious infections.
The air abrasion procedure is a combination of modern technology and the expertise of our staff. Although it may appear to be a complicated process, it is in fact both quick and comfortable for the patient.
Consultation: The treatment begins with a thorough oral examination and consultation with the patient. The dentist assesses the condition of the teeth and gums and discusses the patient's expectations regarding results.
Preparation: Prior to sandblasting, the working area is thoroughly washed and decontaminated. In some cases, if the patient is particularly sensitive, local anaesthesia may be used to minimise discomfort.
Air abrasion (sandblasting) process: A special device generates a stream of compressed air mixed with very fine sand particles and water. These particles effectively remove plaque and tartar from the surface of the teeth, even in hard-to-reach areas. The whole process is controlled by a hygienist to ensure the treatment is as precise and effective as possible.
Polishing: After sandblasting is finished, the teeth are thoroughly rinsed and then polished with special polishing paste, making them smooth and shiny.
Post-treatment advice: At the end of the visit, the patient is given instructions on oral care after the procedure. Although the teeth are clean and refreshed after air abrasion treatment, it is important to continue with daily hygiene and regular check-ups.

Prevention of caries and gum disease: Regular air abrasion (sandblasting) prevents the build-up of bacteria, which is a major factor leading to tooth decay and gum disease.

Everyone dreams of a whiter smile. However, few realise the dangers of neglecting regular dental visits. Plaque, which is the initial stage of tartar formation, can lead to a number of serious conditions, such as periodontitis. This seemingly innocuous layer on the teeth also harbours bacteria that can enter the bloodstream, causing systemic diseases.
Using modern technology and specialised cleaning agents, we can fully control the abrasion process so that it is not only effective but also painless. Many patients are afraid of visits to the dentist because of the pain. At Stomatologia na Podzamczu we do everything possible to ensure that such fears are unfounded. Air abrasion (sandblasting) is an example of a procedure that, despite the deep cleaning of the teeth, is completely painless.
In addition to sandblasting, at our clinic we use ultrasonic tartar removal, also called scaling. This is a painless procedure involving the cleaning of tooth surfaces and roots from tartar using ultrasound.
After sandblasting, it is advisable to have a consultation with our dental hygienists. Those specialists will advise you on how to care for your teeth after the procedure so that the effect is long-lasting. Proper oral hygiene is key to the health not only of the teeth, but of the whole body.
