Professional hygiene of the oral cavity
Professional oral hygiene is a set of measures aimed at eliminating hard and soft plaque.
Why is this done?
During professional oral hygiene (brushing), the dentist evaluates the condition of your teeth and gums.
Detects caries, chipped teeth and restorations at an early stage, which, in turn, allows you to timely eliminate these problems.
It controls the condition of the gums, as hard and soft dental deposits adversely affect them and exacerbate the disease.
Professional oral hygiene allows you to remove mechanically irritating factors on the gums, polish the surface of the teeth. Which, in turn, provides a smooth surface on which there are fewer points of retention (delay) of food.
Thus, timely professional oral hygiene allows you to extend the life of restorations, orthopedic structures and stabilize the condition of the gums.
Professional hygiene (cleaning) of the oral cavity should be carried out on a regular basis (every 6 months).
Why home hygiene is not enough?
Many patients think that they brush their teeth well at home. But, in most cases, this is not so. Even with regular use of a good electric toothbrush and floss.
If you have your own healthy teeth and gums, an electric toothbrush will help maintain that condition, even without flossing. But, this does not eliminate necessity for a professional examination and monitoring of the health of teeth and gums. In the availability of occlusion pathologies, orthodontic and orthopedic structures, gum diseases - there are hard-to-reach places that can only be determined and cleaned by a dentist.
We are aimed at maintaining the health of your oral cavity, and, if necessary, eliminating all its problems.
Regular visits for professional oral hygiene are not only about removing plaque and removing tartar.
The oral hygiene procedure additionally includes:
- inspection, consultation, recommendations.
- we will help you choose a toothbrush, toothpaste and flosses. Everything happens individually and according to each clinical situation. Some patients may have a regular toothbrush. Other patients need an electric toothbrush.
- in the presence of gum disease, the doctor will help you choose an irrigator for the oral cavity.
- selection of toothpaste. There are a lot of toothpastes on the market, patients do not always choose exactly what suits them best on their own. At the reception, we select the most appropriate types of toothpastes for the patient.
- after the professional hygiene procedure, we always give our patients new manual toothbrushes so that they do not forget to replace the old brush at home with a new one.
Professional oral hygiene includes:
1st stage - ultrasonic cleaning
This is the removal of supragingival and subgingival dental deposits using ultrasound. This procedure allows us to very delicately clean your teeth from stones and stimulates blood circulation in the gums.

This is polishing the surface of the teeth with special brushes and pastes. The smoothness of all surfaces of the teeth is ensured, which contributes to a longer effect from the above procedures.
