Professional Oral Hygiene
Description of procedure
Professional oral hygiene is a procedure that helps remove dental plaque, tartar, and pigmentation. Regular use helps maintain the health of teeth and gums and prevents the development of oral diseases such as cavities and periodontitis.
Professional hygiene makes teeth cleaner and whiter, and breath fresher, which is pleasant and provides confidence and comfort.
It is usually recommended to have professional oral hygiene approximately every 6 months, or twice a year. However, this can be individual and depends on the condition of the teeth and gums of each person. For example, if you have issues with your teeth or gums, the dentist may recommend more frequent professional cleaning – every 3-4 months. And when wearing braces, even more frequent professional cleaning may be necessary (every 1.5-2 months).
