Is there any contraindications when using ultrasonic scalers?
If you have a pacemaker, then it’s important to let our dental team know before treatment begins because some dental ultrasonic scalers may affect pacemakers. However, most modern pacemakers are shielded, and this is merely a precaution to make sure you are kept entirely safe during treatment.
People who have especially sensitive teeth or teeth that are newly erupted, or whose teeth are sensitive to temperature changes may prefer their teeth are more traditionally hand scaled. If you are not sure whether your teeth are sensitive, then don’t worry, because we will regularly check on you during treatment and if you feel any discomfort, you can stop any treatment at any time simply by raising your hand.
It’s likely that we will clean around any composite or porcelain restorations or any dental implants manually, or else we will use a specially designed tip for the ultrasonic scaler to ensure these restorations aren’t scratched or damaged in any way.
An ultrasonic scaler is another valuable tool in our arsenal, helping us to fight disease-causing bacteria more effectively. We generally use ultrasonic scalers in combination with traditional hand instruments, blending the use of both tools to provide you with a more comfortable treatment, potentially shorter treatment time and the very best clinical outcome.
