The real impact of dental hygiene on dental health
The value associated with oral hygiene is predominantly cosmetic, however, the benefit of being able to show a beautiful and healthy smile is only one of the aspects related to the relevance of this practice. Even more important is its preventive function for many problems related to teeth and gums, which, if left untreated, can have even serious repercussions on the general well-being of our entire organism.
Bacterial plaque, the main cause of oral cavity disorders
In fact, plaque accumulation not only poses an aesthetic problem, but also compromises dental health by stratifying on the teeth, thus promoting the proliferation of bacteria and the onset of problems such as halitosis, gingivitis periodontal diseases, which can also result in premature tooth loss (Pyorrhea).
Why brushing your teeth properly is not enough
The main preventive actions for proper oral hygiene are to brush teeth thoroughly and floss. However, these daily practices are not sufficient to ensure proper cleanliness of the mouth, especially in the spaces between teeth, gum margins, and the inward-facing part of the teeth.
A professional dental hygiene visit is required to remove tartar
The plaque transforms rather quickly into tartar, which once settled possesses such a force of adherence that it can only be removed with specific instruments. In our practice we have mini-invasive instruments using ultrasound and that take advantage of a pressurized jet of warm water and micropowders that selectively remove plaque and tartar.

Our integrated approach
Caries risk assessment and prevention program
Through the support of the nutritionist, the assessment of the caries risk assesment and the targeted training of our hygienists, we are able to develop a caries hygiene and prevention program, which will be able to stop the development of new caries.
Advanced technologies for early detection of caries
We have invested in equipment such as the intraoral camera and differentiated light refraction systems, which allow us to detect carious lesions at the earliest stages..
Minimal invasiveness in caries treatment
Resin infiltration systems also, allow us to avoid opening teeth with caries in the early stages, again respecting the concept of minimal invasiveness.
