Dental hygiene for adults

Dental hygiene is a significant benefit in modern dental care, aiming for a thorough and professional cleaning of teeth. A dentist or hygienist will assess your oral hygiene level and identify any mistakes in your cleaning routine. This process includes motivation, removal of tartar, plaque, and stains, followed by an instructional session. Treatment of periodontitis may also be included. The hygienist will determine the appropriate size of interdental brushes and recommend additional tools for perfect daily oral hygiene.

The procedure primarily involves:

• Removing tartar from all areas of the teeth (most commonly from the lower front teeth and interdental spaces)
• Polishing with a rotary brush
• Introducing the correct brushing technique, tailored to the patient’s needs, and practicing it
• (In some cases) removing tartar located under the gums
• In follow-up visits, the dentist or hygienist will focus on correcting remaining mistakes and addressing problem areas
• Optionally, applying a remineralizing fluoride treatment or airflow polishing at the end of the session
• The professional treatment lasts 60 minutes.

Dental hygiene for children

Children should have their first dental hygiene visit around the age of 5 or 6. They should bring their own toothbrush to learn proper oral care with the dental hygienist. The hygienist will also discuss sugary foods and drinks and may apply a fluoride gel. Establishing a habit of regular dental hygiene from an early age helps prevent various dental problems and ensures a beautiful smile in adulthood.

During follow-up visits, the child's brushing technique is continually monitored, and interdental cleaning is introduced—starting with a flosspick (dental floss on a holder) and later progressing to interdental brushes. Teeth may also be polished or treated with fluoride as needed.

The professional dental hygiene session for children lasts 30 minutes.

At-Home Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is performed in the comfort of your own home. First, a dental hygienist takes impressions of your teeth, which are used to create custom-made silicone trays in a laboratory. These trays fit precisely over your teeth. At home, you apply a whitening gel containing 10% or 16% carbamide peroxide to the front sections of both the upper and lower trays. The gel is used for 4–6 hours overnight, and the whitening process typically lasts 2 to 4 weeks.
