Cavitron technology is an advanced dental cleaning system designed to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria efficiently and comfortably. At Monroe Dental and Implants, Cavitron cleanings help maintain healthy teeth and gums while providing a gentler experience compared to traditional hand scaling.
This modern approach supports both preventive and periodontal care.
What Is a Cavitron?
A Cavitron is an ultrasonic scaling device that uses high-frequency vibrations combined with a gentle stream of water to break up and remove hardened plaque (tartar) and biofilm from the teeth and below the gumline.
The water spray helps flush out bacteria while keeping the teeth and gums cool and comfortable during treatment.
Why Cavitron Cleanings Are Important
Plaque and tartar buildup can lead to gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath if not properly removed. Cavitron technology allows for thorough cleaning, especially in areas that are difficult to reach with manual instruments alone.
Cavitron is particularly effective for patients with:
- Gum inflammation or early gum disease
- Moderate to heavy tartar buildup
- Dental implants, crowns, or bridges
- Sensitivity during traditional cleanings
Benefits of Cavitron Technology
Cavitron cleanings offer several advantages.
Benefits include:
- Efficient removal of plaque and tartar
- Gentle and comfortable cleaning
- Reduced treatment time
- Improved gum health
- Effective cleaning below the gumline
Many patients find Cavitron cleanings more comfortable than traditional methods.
What to Expect During a Cavitron Cleaning
A Cavitron cleaning is safe, quick, and non-invasive.
During the appointment:
- The ultrasonic tip gently vibrates to loosen buildup
- A stream of water washes away debris and bacteria
- Minimal pressure is applied to the teeth and gums
The procedure is typically completed during a routine dental cleaning visit.
Cavitron for Periodontal Care
Cavitron technology is also commonly used during deep cleanings and periodontal maintenance. It helps reduce bacteria below the gumline and supports gum healing and long-term oral health.
