Oral Hygiene
Brushing teeth with a toothbrush, toothpaste, and using dental floss is part of a person’s oral hygiene, which the Patient can do himself. However, hardened plaque, or tartar, on the teeth cannot be removed by simple hygiene. Such plaque is removed by a professional oral hygiene procedure. The duration of dental hygiene commonly is 1 hour. ORAL HYGIENE IS RECOMMENDED:
- For the prevention of dental diseases - caries, gingivitis, or periodontitis;
- Before starting dental treatment - filling, prosthetics, whitening, or orthodontic treatment;
- As an initial stage in the planning of periodontal diseases treatment;
- For maintenance treatment after complex dental procedures.
