Proper oral hygiene is essential for keeping your teeth and gums healthy and for preventing oral cavity diseases. Daily oral hygiene routines do not just keep your teeth clean, but they also contribute to improved general well-being.
Daily oral hygiene routine
- Tooth brushing: Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste for at least 2 minutes.
- Flossing: Floss at least once a day to clean the gaps between your teeth.
- Mouthwash: Use non-alcoholic mouthwash after brushing your teeth to remove the rest of the bacteria and to strengthen your gums.
Diet and oral hygiene
Avoid excessive sugar intake because sugar contributes to the proliferation of bacteria resulting in tooth decay. Eat fibre-rich vegetables and fruit because they increase saliva production, which naturally cleans your teeth.
Regular dental check-up
It is recommended to go for a dental check-up at least once every half year. The check-up can include professional cleaning, scaling if necessary and the timely discovery of potential problems.
Special care
The elderly, especially if they suffer from conditions like diabetes, must take special care of their oral hygiene as the risk of oral cavity issues increases.
Oral hygiene in childhood
Develop the routines as early as possible, teach your children how to brush their teeth properly and take them regularly for check-ups.

Oral hygiene Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why do scales have to be removed?
Removing tartar is essential for preventing inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) and periodontal diseases (periodontitis). Tartar irritates your gums, causes inflammation and contributes to proliferation of bacteria, which may damage both your teeth and your gums.
-
Gum treatment with laser?
Laser gum treatment entails a dentist using special laser beams to treat gum diseases. Laser technology enables dentists to remove infected or damaged tissues, to reshape the gums and to kill bacteria without causing serious pain or bleeding.

Teeth whitening with plasma lamp?
Teeth whitening with plasma lamp uses special, high-intensity light beams which activate the whitening agent applied on your teeth. The light emitted from the plasma lamp speeds up the whitening process so your teeth can be several shades brighter.
