Oral Hygiene
It is one of the most important aspects for Oral Health and Aesthetics. In addition to the daily hygiene care, advisable for each specific case, it is recommended to visit the dentist or oral hygienist, at least twice a year, to be screened for dental caries and other diseases and to carry out a “dental cleaning”, through which plaque and tartar are removed and a fluoride-based tooth protection treatment is carried out.
Treatments performed at the Oral Hygiene consultation
Scaling
Scaling is a procedure that consists of removing plaque and tartar through an ultrasound device, cleaning your teeth and acting preventively against various oral problems.
Fluoride Application
In order to reduce the risk of tooth decay and tooth sensitivity, fluoride is applied in a high concentration gel, in a special tray, for a few minutes. This substance helps to remineralize tooth enamel, making it more resistant.
Fissure Sealants
The application of fissure sealants is another method of preventing dental caries in which a resin is applied to the occlusal surface of the teeth that will harden through the incidence of blue LED light. This procedure is similar to a simple application of varnish, completely painless.
