Course of treatment

We carry out scaling and polishing with the help of ultrasonic and air-polishing devices of the Swiss brand EMS.

These devices allow a very targeted variation in the intensity of cleaning depending on the location and degree of hardness of deposits such as plaque or tartar.

Our hygienists are particularly attentive to the notion of pain in order to make scaling as painless as possible.

In addition, they will provide you with recommendations on the best ways to maintain impeccable dental hygiene.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How often should I have a dental cleaning?

The recommended frequency for dental cleanings can vary depending on individual needs, oral health, and the recommendations of your dentist or dental hygienist. Generally, most hygienists recommend a cleaning every six months to a year.

However, some individuals may require more frequent cleanings due to rapid tartar buildup, pre-existing oral health issues, or other individual factors. It is essential to consult your hygienist to determine the frequency that best suits your personal situation.

Can I eat or smoke after a dental cleaning?

After a dental cleaning, it is generally recommended to avoid eating or smoking immediately. The main reasons are:

Dental sensitivity: After a cleaning, your teeth may be sensitive due to the removal of tartar and the newly exposed surface. Consuming hot, cold, or acidic foods may worsen this sensitivity.
Risk of infection: Smoking after a cleaning may be discouraged because smoke can introduce bacteria into the mouth, increasing the risk of infection.

It is generally advised to wait at least 30 minutes to an hour after the cleaning before eating or drinking anything. During this time, also avoid consuming very hot or very cold liquids.

As for smoking, it is better to wait a few hours after the cleaning to minimize the risk of infection and allow your mouth to recover.

However, it is crucial to follow the specific instructions given by your hygienist, as recommendations may vary depending on the exact procedure performed and your particular oral health condition. If you have concerns or questions, do not hesitate to consult your dental professional.
