ORAL HYGIENE AND PROPHYLAXIS

Oral hygiene is essential when it comes to guaranteeing healthy teeth and gums over the years (whether one’s own natural teeth or prostheses with bridges and crowns). Oral hygiene treatments include:

• plaque removal and tooth cleaning, manually or using mechanical devices;
• whitening with baking soda, useful for removing smoke and coffee stains;
• teaching of home oral hygiene techniques to improve our ability to keep teeth clean (like brushing those areas we usually ignore unintentionally; how to use a toothbrush and floss).

The hygienist will teach children how to use their toothbrush and toothpaste to get good results and parents how to pay more attention to their children’s oral hygiene.
