Prevention and oral hygiene
Prevention is better than cure. Professional cleaning and personal advice help keep your mouth as healthy as possible.
What is preventive dental care?
Preventive dental care includes everything we do to help prevent problems with teeth and gums: thorough cleaning, monitoring your oral health and advice tailored to your situation.
Every treatment path starts with prevention. As a new patient, you first visit the dental hygienist for a thorough cleaning, followed by a dentist intake with an examination and analysis.
When can a cleaning be useful?
Professional cleaning can be useful for stains, tartar, bleeding or sensitive gums, or as maintenance during your regular check-up. We discuss what you need after an examination.
What happens during an appointment?
- 1We examine your mouth and discuss your brushing habits and any concerns.
- 2We remove tartar and plaque and polish the teeth.
- 3You receive tailored advice on brushing, interdental brushes or flossing, and suitable follow-up.
Points to consider
Teeth and gums may temporarily feel more sensitive after cleaning. Professional cleaning does not replace daily oral hygiene at home: lasting results depend on good brushing and regular follow-up.
