Teeth whitening
Dental hygiene plays a vital role in maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Regular removal of plaque and tartar helps prevent tooth decay, gingivitis and periodontitis, which can lead to tooth loss. During a visit to the dental hygienist, not only are the teeth thoroughly cleaned, but the overall condition of the oral cavity is also checked and, if necessary, appropriate measures are recommended to improve oral hygiene at home.
The dental hygienist uses special tools, such as ultrasonic devices and hand tools, to gently remove plaque and tartar from the surface of the teeth and from the spaces between the teeth and under the gums. This process is important because even with regular brushing at home, bacteria and food debris can build up in these areas, causing tooth decay and gingivitis.
In addition to cleaning the teeth, the dental hygienist also performs fluoridation, which helps to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent tooth decay. Fluoride gels or varnishes are applied directly to the teeth and provide long-term protection from the acids in food and drink.

Tips for maintaining healthy teeth and gums between visits
Regular dental hygiene visits are important, but so is daily care of your teeth and gums at home. Here are some tips to keep your teeth in tip-top shape between visits:
Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste for at least two minutes. Pay attention to each tooth and do not skip any areas.
Use interdental aids such as floss, interdental brushes or oral irrigators to clean the spaces between teeth where plaque easily builds up.
Limit consumption of sugary and acidic foods and drinks that can erode tooth enamel and promote tooth decay. Rinse your mouth with water after eating them.
Use a fluoride mouthwash for additional tooth protection and to freshen your breath.
Don't smoke and limit alcohol consumption, which can negatively affect gum health and increase the risk of oral cancer.
Eat a balanced diet rich in calcium, vitamin D and other nutrients important for dental and bone health.
Check yourself regularly in the mirror and notice any changes in your teeth or gums. If you are in any doubt, consult your dentist.
