Dental Hygiene – The Key to Healthy and Beautiful Teeth
Why is Dental Hygiene Important?
Dental hygiene is the foundation of healthy teeth and gums. Regular cleaning by a dental hygienist helps prevent tooth decay, gum inflammation, and periodontitis. Removing tartar and plaque also contributes to a whiter, healthier smile.
Even the best at-home dental care cannot replace professional treatment. At AMICADENT, we recommend dental hygiene twice a year to ensure the long-term health of your teeth.
What Does Dental Hygiene at AMICADENT Involve?
Our dental hygienists work with maximum care and gentleness. The treatment is painless and takes approximately 45–60 minutes. The process includes several steps:
- Consultation and Dental Check-Up
The hygienist conducts an initial examination, checks the condition of your teeth and gums, and highlights problematic areas.
- Ultrasonic Tartar Removal
A state-of-the-art ultrasonic device removes hard tartar from the surface of the teeth and below the gums.
- AirFlow Cleaning (Sandblasting)
AirFlow uses a gentle stream of water, air, and special powder to remove remaining plaque and stains from coffee, tea, or cigarettes.
- Teeth Polishing
Polishing the teeth improves aesthetics and prevents new plaque build-up.
- Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride varnish strengthens tooth enamel and protects against cavities.
- Oral Hygiene Guidance
Our hygienists will advise you on proper brushing techniques and how to use dental floss and interdental brushes for the best at-home care.
