Professional oral hygiene
Professional removal of plaque and tartar to help maintain the health of your teeth and gums and prevent oral diseases.
Professional oral hygiene is a procedure during which plaque and tartar are removed, and the surfaces of teeth and fillings are polished.
Regular professional cleaning helps prevent gum inflammation, tooth decay, and periodontitis; reduces bad breath; helps maintain healthy teeth and gums; and preserves the natural whiteness of your teeth. It is impossible to completely remove accumulated tartar with a toothbrush alone, so professional oral hygiene should be performed regularly.
How often should you have a professional dental cleaning?
There is no single interval that applies to everyone. The frequency depends on:
- the accumulation of plaque;
- the condition of the gums and periodontium;
- dental implants;
- orthodontic appliances;
- individual oral hygiene habits.
