上の写真の患者様は10年ぶりのクリーニングでした。

見た目も白くきれいになりましたが、表面もツルツルになりました。表面をツルツルに保つことにより、虫歯菌、歯周病菌も寄せ付けにくい口腔内環境を作ることができます。

The patient in this photo had a PMTC cleaning performed which was the first cleaning in over 10 years.

The appearance of the teeth became noticeable whiter, and the surface is much smoother. By maintaining a smooth surface, you can create an oral environment which prevents cavities and bacterial build-up.
