Dental Hygiene

Regular check-ups and prophylaxis are important to maintain healthy teeth and gums. If you do not clean your teeth regularly, bacteria can accumulate on the teeth and form plaque. Over time, this plaque can lead to tooth decay by attacking the enamel and causing holes in the teeth.

In addition, the bacteria in the plaque can also affect the gums and cause inflammation of the gums, such as periodontitis. If these inflammations are left untreated, they can lead to bleeding gums, receding gums and even tooth loss.

You can alleviate bad breath with a professional dental cleaning. Bad breath is often caused by the bacterial decomposition of food debris in the oral cavity. If this food debris is not removed, it can lead to a build-up of bacteria that produce sulphur compounds, causing bad breath. If you wear braces, it is also important to thoroughly remove food debris by cleaning your teeth.

Regular dental care, the use of dental floss and professional dental cleanings can remove food debris and bacteria and thus help to reduce bad breath. Cleaning the tongue can also help, as bacteria that cause bad breath also accumulate here. Book our tongue cleaning add-on for this.
