Professional oral hygiene

Professional oral hygiene is the primary means of protecting against tooth decay and periodontal disease. During a professional oral hygiene session, soft and hard dental plaque are removed, thereby preventing diseases caused by the bacteria found in them. During this procedure, the dentist also assesses whether the patient is brushing their teeth properly and provides personalized oral care recommendations.

Regular professional oral hygiene helps maintain healthy teeth and gums and protects against tooth decay and periodontal disease. Removing plaque and tartar reduces gum bleeding and swelling, and the oral cavity becomes cleaner and fresher. The procedure not only contributes to overall oral health but also allows for the timely detection of periodontal problems or cavities. If necessary, the patient is immediately offered appropriate treatment or preventive solutions.

An ultrasonic scaler is used to remove plaque and tartar, while deeper deposits are removed manually using special instruments.

Removal of pigmented plaque

The Air Flow system gently cleans the tooth surface, preserving tooth enamel and soft tissues, and removes pigmented deposits caused by smoking or the frequent consumption of coffee, tea, or other staining beverages and foods.

Polishing

A special paste is used to polish the surfaces of teeth and fillings, thereby increasing their resistance to decay and reducing plaque buildup.

What are the risks of not maintaining proper oral hygiene?

The Development of Dental Caries and Periodontal Disease

If plaque and tartar are not removed, bacteria accumulate, damaging tooth enamel and causing tooth decay and gum inflammation (gingivitis), and eventually periodontitis.

Bleeding and swelling of the gums

Poor oral hygiene leads to gum inflammation, which causes bleeding, swelling, and discomfort.

Bad breath

The buildup of plaque and bacteria causes persistent bad breath.

Tooth loss

When periodontitis develops, the teeth become loose and unstable, putting them at risk of being lost.
