Dental Hygiene
Dental hygiene is a key component of modern dentistry and oral health care. Properly performed hygiene helps protect both teeth and gums and prevents the development of tooth decay, gingivitis or periodontitis. Regular professional teeth cleaning is an effective prevention method for maintaining healthy teeth and a beautiful smile in the long term.
During dental hygiene treatment, tartar, plaque and pigmentation are removed, which accumulate on the surface of the teeth due to food, coffee, tea or smoking. These impurities can contribute to the development of gingivitis and periodontitis. Our specialists use modern technologies such as ultrasound, hand instruments or the Airflow method (Air Flow), which effectively cleans even the most difficult-to-reach areas using a mixture of water, air and fine powder.
What is the process of professional dental hygiene at our clinic?
Professional dental hygiene is a key pillar of a healthy and beautiful smile. It’s not just about cleaning — it’s a comprehensive approach to care and education. Curious about what to expect during your visit with our dental hygienist? Here’s a detailed overview of the process:
- Reception and Medical History: At the beginning of each visit, we will review your current health status and any changes (medications, allergies). We will ensure that you do not have any new problems or sensitive areas to be aware of.
- Examination and Diagnosis: The dental hygienist will perform a thorough examination of your gums, teeth and oral mucosa. They will assess the amount of plaque and tartar, gum bleeding and determine so-called oral hygiene indices. An intraoral camera is sometimes used for better visualization and understanding of the condition.

You need to brush your teeth at least twice a day, morning and evening, but preferably after every meal. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush with a flat bristle surface and toothpaste recommended by your dentist. Clean the interdental spaces once a day using interdental brushes or dental floss. Proper brushing technique is also important – do not press hard, but clean gently and thoroughly.
Approximately 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the condition of your teeth.
