Professional hygiene

Oral hygiene

Everyone knows that it is easier to prevent a disease than to treat it. Regular oral care, proper brushing of teeth, gums, and tongue are the key to maintaining your health, purity and freshness of breath.

At home, it is not always possible to brush your teeth properly, and if you have crooked teeth, it is almost impossible. In these cases, professional hygiene in a dental office in Vinnytsia is recommended.

In our dental clinic, teeth cleaning from calculus and hard dental plaque is carried out painlessly with an ultrasonic device. Removal of soft, pigmented plaque, as well as dyes from food and tobacco, is performed with the original KaVo Air-flow apparatus, followed by polishing with pastes and rinsing with antiseptic. The teeth become perfectly clean and bright. After a few days, the mucous membrane and gums acquire a normal pale pink colour, and bad breath disappears. This procedure is not harmful. If necessary, the teeth are saturated with fluoride ions, which reduces tooth sensitivity.

During the professional hygiene procedure, we use the latest development of the well-known German company KaVo - PROPHYpearls powder containing calcium carbonate, not ordinary soda.

Calcium granules have a spherical-rounded shape (unlike sodium bicarbonate - soda), which makes them much more effective in cleaning the surface of the teeth without damaging the enamel or injuring the mucous membranes. Teeth are saturated with calcium ions and become more resistant to acids.

Cleaning is a mandatory procedure in case of carious lesions, before performing restorations, especially of the front teeth, as the colour of the material should match the colour of your teeth, as well as before placing a bracket system.

At your request, we will help you choose a toothbrush and toothpaste, and give you a lesson on how to brush your teeth properly. Depending on the age, condition of the teeth, oral mucosa, bite... each patient is given an individual schedule of further visits to the dentist with a reminder by phone. 

The role of oral hygiene
The beauty and health of our gums and teeth depends on effective oral hygiene. It is difficult to overestimate the importance of daily hygiene procedures, but it is often easy to underestimate them and pay with the loss of teeth even at a young age. Therefore, one of the most suitable and at the same time easy ways to prevent dental diseases is regular oral and dental hygiene for children and adults. We should not lose sight of the important point that hygiene should not end with just banal brushing.

Oral hygiene is a comprehensive measure that includes regular brushing and visits to the dentist at least once every six months. All this is because for the health of teeth and gums, it is necessary to remove tartar and plaque on the tongue in a timely manner. Food debris and soft plaque are removed with toothpaste and a toothbrush. However, only a dentist can remove tartar using special tools and products. For this reason, comprehensive oral care includes professional and individual hygiene.

Individual hygiene
This oral hygiene is most effective if you follow certain rules. As you know, there are a huge number of ways - and any of them is useful and complete, it all depends solely on our preferences. But still, you should pay attention to the following recommendations of dentists:

• always start brushing your teeth from the same dentition;
• follow a certain sequence of brushing your teeth so as not to miss a single area;
• brushing at the same pace to maintain the optimal duration of cleaning.

Of course, you should also pay attention to the way you brush your teeth. If, for example, you brush your teeth across the row all the time, the enamel will wear off. Therefore, oral hygiene must necessarily be carried out in compliance with the technique of brushing your teeth (you need to make vertical movements). And in our case, they are most likely oval. Therefore, due to the violation of this important rule, the enamel by the age of 35 is very worn off, or even disappears. In addition, it should not be forgotten that cleaning the tongue with special tools (scrapers) is an essential part of oral hygiene.
