Oral Hygiene

What to expect

Oral hygiene is the foundation for maintaining the health of the teeth and gums over time. Correct daily habits, together with professional maintenance, help prevent decay, gum disease, and other issues. Maintaining oral hygiene isn't just about aesthetics, it's a meaningful part of overall health and proper function of the mouth.

Who is the treatment suitable for?

Maintaining oral hygiene is important for everyone, at every age, especially for patients undergoing dental treatments, or with implants, crowns, or gum sensitivity.

What the treatment process looks like

Maintaining oral hygiene combines daily care at home with checkups and professional cleaning at the clinic. At home, it's important to brush correctly twice a day, use interdental aids, and avoid harmful habits. At the clinic, professional cleaning by a dental hygienist helps remove tartar and plaque that can't be fully removed at home. The cleaning includes removing tartar and bacterial plaque from areas above and below the gum line, and helps with early identification of changes. Treatment frequency is determined according to the condition of the mouth, usually every few months.
