Proper oral hygiene is based on regular brushing. Although daily routines can be supported by accessories such as mouthwash, dental floss, or interdental brushes, we often cannot prevent the formation of tartar even with these aids.
Indeed, tartar can be mentioned as the first stage of many dental problems. Without exaggeration, it can trigger a minor domino effect in the mouth, which causes
- initially tooth decay, bleeding gums and bad breath;
- later, gum inflammation and periodontal disease can also develop;
- And neglecting oral hygiene can even lead to tooth loss.
Preventing and treating the problems in question is always carried out as part of dental hygiene treatment.
With the innovative dental hygiene treatments available at NaturaDent, we have the opportunity to keep our teeth healthy and effectively combat conditions such as tooth decay, bleeding gums, bad breath, or periodontal disease.
What is dental hygiene?
Dentistry itself is the field that ensures the health and protection of the oral cavity. Related treatments are carried out by a qualified dental hygienist.
What does a dental hygiene treatment include?
At NaturaDent, the main role of the qualified dental hygienist is to help the patient maintain their dental health and develop proper oral hygiene. From this perspective, dental hygiene treatment can be divided into two main groups:
- theoretical advice
- and for practical tasks.
If we know the details of these two roles, we can learn everything about what awaits us during such a treatment, and also the problems for which we can seek the help of the sector in question.
Theoretical consultation
A central task for a dental hygienist is to provide patients with comprehensive basic knowledge before and after treatments for maintaining proper oral hygiene.
From proper toothbrushing, it helps you learn about special oral care tools and accessories through instructions and motivation related to dental hygiene, but it also provides useful advice on nutrition from the perspective of oral health.
In addition, the dental hygienist will help provide advice tailored to the patient's lifestyle for maintaining proper oral hygiene, whilst also highlighting the importance of regular dental check-ups.
It also helps to answer any questions directly or indirectly related to dental health and oral hygiene.
Practical tasks
As part of dental hygiene, several types of interventions may take place. On the one hand, there are treatments that serve to prevent problems from arising, and on the other hand, tasks aimed at curing existing diseases should be highlighted.
The most common dental hygiene treatments include tartar removal and teeth whitening. In addition, the treatment of cold sores and mouth ulcers, pocket disinfection, tooth polishing, plaque staining, and professional teeth cleaning are all part of the more general duties.
In addition, the qualified dental hygienist can assist the dentist with taking impressions, preparing for orthodontics, making temporary restorations, and even temporarily fitting prostheses such as bridges and crowns.
What makes the dental hygiene treatment at NaturaDent clinic unique?
At the NaturaDent practice, dental hygiene treatments are also carried out with 3D scanning. We digitally record the patient's initial state using a 3D scan, which accurately registers the condition of their teeth.
The patient can view potential dental irregularities, the exact tooth shade, and gum health on a virtual model on the computer. With the help of this model, your NaturaDent dentist can create an accurate treatment plan for your case, plan the necessary aesthetic treatments, or provide a plan for orthodontics.
Using artificial intelligence, it can show you in moments what movements would be possible with potential invisible braces to achieve your beautiful smile.
What other benefits does 3D teeth scanning offer me?
Technology offers the possibility to see and diagnose interdental decay without the need for X-rays. In the event of an accident or injury, the original condition can be restored.
It is possible to examine the condition of your gums and get a realistic picture of periodontal problems.
Who might find dental hygiene treatment with 3D scanning important?
For example, if you are concerned that the prosthesis or crown to be made will feel foreign in your mouth, this scan will enable a prosthesis that perfectly matches your original dentition to be made.
If your tool of the trade is a beautiful mouth, because you do a job, say, as a university lecturer, musician, artist, politician, model, where a perfect appearance is essential.
For you, whether you engage in high-risk sports such as American football, boxing, ice hockey, handball, or weightlifting, at hobby or professional level.
The digital smile offers significant assistance not only to you but also to your dentist in the future when preparing implant or prosthetic restorations (bridges, crowns).
