What is needed to keep your smile healthy and beautiful?
Maintain oral cleanliness! Since childhood, we have known that “cleanliness is the key to health.” Even with thorough home care, food particles can remain in hard-to-reach areas of the oral cavity. Therefore, it is necessary to take care of teeth and gums not only at home but also with a dental hygienist.
Professional oral hygiene is a set of hygiene procedures performed by a dental hygienist to clean and improve the oral cavity, as well as to prevent dental and gum diseases.
The specialty of professional oral hygiene is relatively young in healthcare. We have dental hygienists who were among the first in our country to specialize in comprehensive professional hygiene as an independent direction in dentistry.
Consequences of poor oral hygiene
- bad breath;
- exposure of tooth necks;
- increased enamel sensitivity;
- gum inflammation;
- caries;
- bone tissue atrophy;
- tooth mobility and even subsequent adentia.
Why is professional cleaning necessary?
It is impossible to remove supragingival and subgingival calculus on your own; only a dental hygienist can eliminate dental deposits. The recommended frequency of the procedure is once every six months. In the case of orthodontic and prosthetic treatment, smoking, frequent consumption of food and beverages with coloring pigments (tea, coffee, wine), hygiene may be required every 3-4 months.
Professional oral hygiene
- Hygiene as the basis of any treatment. In EOK dentistry, professional hygiene is a mandatory measure before dental treatment: therapeutic, orthopedic, orthodontic, and surgical.
- There is no limit to perfection. Our doctors not only regularly improve their professionalism at symposiums, seminars, and courses but also share medical experience by publishing scientific and methodological works.
- Modern equipment. Equipping dental offices allows performing all types of professional oral hygiene.
