Prevention
Dental prophylaxis is a set of activities aimed at preventing diseases of the teeth and oral cavity. Regular examinations and preventive treatments can prevent many dental problems, such as caries, gingivitis and periodontitis. Preventive actions include: removal of tartar, sandblasting of teeth and fluoridation. It is worth remembering that dental prophylaxis not only brings health benefits, but also aesthetic ones.

Prevention
Dental prophylaxis is the basis of maintenance treatment both in generally healthy patients and those after complex interdisciplinary treatment. Prevention is the backbone of long-term dental care. Neglecting it increases the risk of complications. Periodic check-ups at the dentist’s and prophylactic treatments performed by the hygienist ensure that the treatment effect is stable and lasting.
What is the treatment process like?
Dental prophylaxis is a perfect complement to everyday care for oral hygiene. Therefore, it is worth appearing for regular visits every six months.
As part of dental prophylaxis, we perform:
- tartar removal ( scaling ),
- sediment removal (sandblasting),
- fluoridation, which reduces the occurrence of caries by up to 40%,
- enamel impregnation with nanohydroxyapatite ,
- photoactive disinfection of periodontal pockets,
- ozone therapy,
- hygienization around implants,
- ultrasonic disinfection and cleaning of deposits from removable dentures,
- sealing teeth,
- alleviating tooth hypersensitivity.
Supragingival and subgingival calculus , root surface polishing, tooth sandblasting and fluoridation are performed . The visit ends with instructions on proper hygiene habits and individual selection of preparations for home prophylaxis.
When performing hygienization in children, we put special emphasis on raising awareness of the role of daily oral hygiene in maintaining the overall health of the teeth and oral cavity. During the visit, we stain the bacterial plaque and tartar present on the teeth, and then we provide instructions on how to properly brush and floss your teeth.
Tartar is formed when the dental plaque is not cleaned, which begins to mineralize after a few hours. There are factors that contribute to tartar build-up, such as mouth breathing, sleeping with your mouth open or thick mucous saliva.
Belongs. Tartar deposited for a long time inevitably leads to inflammation of the gums, and consequently to the atrophy of the alveolar bone. In extreme cases, this can result in tooth loss. Limescale is also one of the causes of bad breath.
To maintain proper oral hygiene, brushing alone is not enough. The toothbrush is only able to clean the outer surfaces of the teeth. The surfaces between the teeth and the surfaces of the teeth are beyond its reach, but they are not beyond the reach of plaque, which is deposited in these places in exactly the same way as on the other surfaces of the tooth. The only way to clean these areas is by flossing.
No. The irrigator is an excellent tool supporting daily hygienization procedures (it rinses out the remains in the periodontal pockets), but it does not allow to remove the bacterial plaque from the contact surfaces of the adjacent teeth. The irrigator can only be used in conjunction with a toothbrush, dental floss and rinse. It can be said that flossing cares for the well-being of the teeth and the irrigator for the well-being of the gums.
