The Secret to Healthy Teeth and a Beautiful Smile
Professional oral hygiene is an essential procedure that helps maintain oral health and ensures long-term improvement in the condition of the teeth and gums. It not only enhances aesthetic appearance but also protects against serious oral cavity diseases. At our clinic, we offer the highest quality oral hygiene services to help you maintain healthy and beautiful teeth.
What is professional oral hygiene?
Professional oral hygiene is a procedure during which special instruments are used to remove soft and hard dental deposits as well as pigment stains. This procedure includes an ultrasonic scaler and Air Flow polishing, which ensure effective and painless teeth cleaning. During the hygiene appointment, an oral health check is also performed to identify potential damage to the teeth and gums.
Why is it necessary to have professional oral hygiene performed regularly?
Bacteria in the mouth can migrate through dental caries and gum pockets, causing various diseases in the body. Regular oral hygiene helps avoid these problems, ensures the long-term durability of teeth and implants, and protects against infections. Oral hygiene is necessary both for maintaining daily dental care and as a preventive measure before more serious dental procedures.
Procedure steps
- Ultrasonic scaler: used to remove supragingival and subgingival calculus (tartar).
- Air Flow polisher: effectively removes pigment deposits from the tooth surface, even in hard-to-reach areas.
- Polishing: teeth are polished with special paste and brushes so that plaque accumulates more slowly.
- Interdental cleaning: dental floss is used to make the spaces between teeth more resistant to decay.
- Oral health check: the hygienist checks the condition of the teeth and gums and provides recommendations for further care.
How often should professional oral hygiene be performed?
It is recommended to have the procedure performed twice a year. However, the frequency of procedures may vary depending on the individual needs of the patient, the rate of calculus accumulation, and overall oral health. For those with periodontal disease or those wearing orthodontic appliances, it is recommended to perform hygiene every 3–4 months.
After the oral hygiene procedure
Minimal discomfort may be felt after the procedure, but this passes quickly. It is important to follow the doctor’s instructions:
- Avoid heavy physical exertion and stress during the first days after the procedure.
- Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste; clean between your teeth with floss or a special brush.
- Perform professional oral hygiene regularly and visit the dentist for preventive check-ups.
Pediatric oral hygiene
It is recommended to develop proper oral care skills from childhood. Regular oral hygiene helps prevent tooth decay and ensures a healthy oral cavity. Oral hygiene for children at our clinic includes plaque removal, tooth polishing, and the application of fluoride gel. The hygienist can also apply sealants to protect teeth from caries.
