Oral hygiene

Professional oral hygiene – clean teeth and healthy gums.

Professional oral hygiene

Professional oral hygiene is one of the most important measures for maintaining oral health and preventing disease. It helps prevent tooth decay, gum inflammation, periodontitis (also known as periodontal disease), and even tooth loss.

When and why is it necessary?

At the Dentus dental clinic, professional oral hygiene is recommended:

Before starting any dental treatment.

To remove plaque and deposits, ensuring a more effective and long-lasting result.

Preventively – 2-4 times a year.

Depending on the condition of your mouth, your general health, eating habits, and personal hygiene.
Healthy gums
Periodontitis caused by dental plaque
Periodontitis caused by dental plaque

What does the procedure of oral hygiene involve?
  • Assesses gum health, bleeding, pocket depth, plaque accumulation, and tooth mobility.
  • Removes soft and hard plaque, tartar.
  • Removes stains caused by food, drinks, or smoking.
  • Polishes all tooth surfaces.
  • If necessary, performs applications to reduce sensitivity or treat inflammation.
  • Prescribes oral care products tailored to individual needs.
  • Provides advice on how to properly care for teeth at home.

The result – cleanliness, freshness, and a smile

After professional oral hygiene, you will enjoy:
  • Naturally brighter, smoother teeth.
  • Refreshing sensation in the mouth.
  • Better gum condition.
  • Reduced risk of dental and gum disease.

Frequently asked questions about professional oral hygiene

It is recommended 2–4 times a year, depending on the condition of your gums, plaque accumulation, lifestyle, and individual oral hygiene. For risk groups (e.g., smokers, diabetics, pregnant women), the procedure may be necessary more often.

In most cases, the procedure is completely painless. We use modern EMS „No Pain“ technology, which ensures maximum comfort even for patients with sensitive gums or increased tooth sensitivity.

Temporary sensitivity after the procedure is normal, especially if extensive tartar has been removed or if you have sensitive gums. This sensation usually disappears within 1–2 days. If necessary, we apply sensitivity-reducing gel.

Yes – after removing plaque and surface stains, teeth appear brighter and have a more natural shine. However, this is not whitening – the color of the teeth does not change, but their natural cleanliness is restored.

Yes. Although good hygiene is very important, a toothbrush and dental floss cannot remove all hard deposits and stones, especially in hard-to-reach areas or under the gums. Professional hygiene ensures that the mouth is completely clean.

Yes, we provide professional oral hygiene services for children from around 5 years of age. The procedure is performed gently, taking into account the child's age, sensitivity, and motivation.

Yes, not only is it possible, but it is often recommended. During pregnancy, the gums become more sensitive, so regular plaque removal helps prevent gingivitis and other gum diseases in pregnant women. The procedure is performed safely using gentle methods.

Yes. Implants require special care – if plaque is not removed, peri-implantitis (inflammation around the implant) may develop. At our clinic, we use special polishing powder that allows us to safely care for implants.

Yes. Orthodontic appliances make daily dental care more difficult, so oral hygiene is especially important. It helps prevent gum inflammation, plaque buildup, and tooth discoloration after braces are removed.

The average duration of the procedure is approximately 45–60 minutes. The exact duration depends on the condition of the teeth, the amount of plaque, and individual oral hygiene habits.

No special preparation is required. We only recommend that you brush your teeth as usual before your visit so that the dental hygienist can assess the situation more easily.

Yes, but it is recommended to wait at least 30–60 minutes, especially if desensitizing preparations or fluoride applications have been used.
