Professional dental hygiene
Professional hygiene complements home care. Its scope and instruments depend on plaque, deposits, gum health and existing restorations. The visit is also an opportunity to review brushing technique and interdental cleaning tools. The interval between procedures is determined individually rather than by a single schedule for everyone.
These pages explain different areas of dental care. The availability of a particular treatment and any involvement of specialist colleagues are discussed at consultation.
When to seek advice
- Plaque or tartar has built up.
- Crowns, veneers or implants need tailored care.
