Hygiene and prevention

Plaque left on the teeth hardens into tartar, and from then on a toothbrush is no longer enough. A professional cleaning removes tartar and puts your mouth back in a state you can keep clean at home.

For most people it's every six months. People whose gums get inflamed easily, who wear a brace or who smoke usually need it more often: we set the right interval once we've seen you.

Three sections of the same tooth: clean, with soft plaque along the gum line, with hard tartar.

What we do

  • Professional cleaning: tartar is removed above and below the gum line.
  • Gum check: if they bleed, we find out why and what to do.
  • Practical advice on toothbrush, floss and interdental brushes, tailored to your mouth.
  • Recalls at the interval you need, not a one-size-fits-all rule.

How it works

  1. We look at your teeth and gums and tell you what we see.
  2. We do the cleaning, calmly, stopping whenever needed.
  3. We show you how to brush: from the gum towards the tooth, from pink to white.
  4. We book your next check-up together.
