Active prevention for a healthy mouth

Oral hygiene is the foundation of prevention in dental medicine. More than a simple cleaning procedure, it is a clinical intervention essential for removing tartar and bacterial plaque, while preventing complications such as cavities, gingivitis, or periodontitis. Its regular practice helps preserve natural teeth, maintain gum health, and avoid more complex treatments in the future.

At IDC.Clinic, each session is adapted to the patient’s oral health status, with close attention to comfort and personalization. We use advanced technology to ensure effective, long-lasting, and visible results from the very first appointment.

Maintaining regular clinical oral hygiene significantly contributes to overall health. The main benefits include:

  • Prevention of cavities, gingivitis, and periodontitis.
  • Reduction of pigmentation and dental stains.
  • Improved breath and a fresher oral sensation.
  • Early detection of signs of oral disease.
  • Promotion of the longevity of natural teeth and previous dental treatments.

A clean and healthy mouth has a positive impact on the entire body.

After an oral hygiene session, it is recommended to:

  • Avoid pigmented foods for the following 2 to 3 hours.
  • Refrain from smoking for the rest of the day.
  • Continue brushing twice a day and using dental floss.
  • Follow the appointment schedule recommended by the dental medical doctor (usually every 6 months).

These measures help maintain results for longer and prevent complications.

Steps

Step-by-step procedure

The oral hygiene appointment follows a clinical protocol that includes:

  1. Assessment of oral health and detection of tartar or inflammation
  2. Removal of plaque and tartar using ultrasound
  3. Dental polishing to smooth the tooth surface
  4. Application of fluoride, if necessary, to strengthen the enamel
  5. Personalized guidance on brushing techniques and home care
