Why is Dental Hygiene Key to Your Smile?
Dental hygiene is a crucial element of prevention that helps maintain healthy teeth and gums throughout life. Regular professional care not only prevents tooth decay and gum inflammation but also reduces the risk of serious problems like periodontitis or premature tooth loss.
How does dental hygiene protect your teeth?
Daily brushing is important, but even the most thorough home care cannot remove all plaque and tartar. Dental hygiene helps:
- ✔ Remove tartar and plaque, the main causes of cavities and inflammation.
- ✔ Prevent gingivitis and its progression to periodontitis.
- ✔ Improve your smile’s appearance – professional teeth whitening works much better on a clean surface.
- ✔ Prevent bad breath by eliminating bacteria.
What does professional dental hygiene include?
During your visit to Smile Time in Prague 9, we perform:
- ✔ Examination of teeth and gum health.
- ✔ Tartar removal using ultrasound and the AIRFLOW method.
- ✔ Tooth polishing for a smooth surface.
- ✔ Fluoridation to protect enamel.
How often should you visit?
The general recommendation for a healthy smile is at least twice a year. However, certain factors may require visits every 3–4 months:
- ✔ Patients with periodontitis.
- ✔ People with braces or dental implants.
- ✔ Smokers and patients with high tartar buildup.
Benefits of regular care
Consistent dental hygiene saves you money. Prevention is always cheaper than subsequent treatments such as white composite fillings, dental crowns, or in worse cases, root canal treatment.
When to seek hygiene sooner?
Do not delay your visit if you experience bleeding gums, bad breath, or notice visible tartar and stains from coffee or tea.
