Our dental clinic focuses not only on comprehensive dental treatment but also on prevention, which is the key to a healthy smile and self-confidence. Daily oral hygiene, although extremely important, is not able to remove all deposits and plaque accumulated in hard-to-reach areas. Below, we explain in detail what professional dental hygiene treatment involves, the benefits it offers, and why it is essential for maintaining both the health and aesthetics of your smile. We also present the professional techniques and tools we use during this safe and comfortable procedure to ensure the best possible results.
Simply put, professional dental hygiene treatment involves preventive cleaning of the teeth, removing plaque and tartar in a dental clinic. It is an effective way to protect teeth and the oral cavity from bacteria, which are the direct cause of many diseases. It complements daily home oral hygiene by eliminating deposits that are difficult to remove on your own. Bacteria often develop in areas that are hard to reach with a toothbrush, such as interdental spaces and small cracks.
To effectively prevent the development of tooth decay, professional dental hygiene should be performed at least once every six months.
Modern dental hygiene treatments are based on advanced technologies that not only clean the surface of the teeth from plaque and tartar, but also remove biofilm from the gums, gum pockets, and other soft tissues of the oral cavity.
Performed by qualified dental professionals, professional hygiene treatment aims to precisely and effectively remove tartar and plaque that have accumulated on tooth surfaces. Thanks to this procedure, it is possible to prevent tooth decay, reduce the risk of gum inflammation, periodontal disease, and other dental conditions. Additionally, in-office hygiene treatment improves the overall aesthetics of the smile by removing discoloration and stains, while also freshening the breath. Regular hygiene procedures are an essential part of prevention, helping patients maintain healthy, bright teeth for longer and positively influencing their overall well-being.
Oral hygiene treatment, whether performed using traditional methods or Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT), should not be painful, although sensations may vary depending on individual factors such as tooth sensitivity or gum condition.
GBT is particularly recommended for patients with sensitive teeth or weakened gums, as it allows effective removal of biofilm and deposits without irritating the tissues. For many patients, it can therefore be a more comfortable experience compared to traditional methods.
It is important to note, however, that individual experiences during hygiene treatment may differ, and patients should communicate any discomfort to the dentist or dental hygienist. Professionals can then adjust the procedure to individual needs and make it more comfortable for the patient.
Orthodontic braces, although highly effective in correcting malocclusions and achieving a beautiful smile, can make it more difficult to maintain proper oral hygiene. Therefore, taking care of the health of teeth and gums during orthodontic treatment is essential to prevent cavities, inflammation, and other dental problems.
For orthodontic patients, the need for professional dental hygiene treatment may arise more frequently than for other patients. This is because braces create additional spaces where food particles and plaque can easily accumulate, eventually mineralizing into tartar. Moreover, tartar can interfere with tooth movement and slow down the progress of orthodontic treatment. For this reason, the hygienist determines when tartar removal is necessary to ensure proper treatment progress.
Hygiene treatment following the GBT protocol can be safely performed in patients with orthodontic braces. It does not damage the appliance and allows for thorough cleaning of the areas around it.
During a hygiene visit, patients wearing braces may also receive valuable advice on brushing techniques and the proper selection of tools to maintain oral cleanliness and health throughout orthodontic treatment.
