Oral HYGIENE

Oral hygiene is the cornerstone of oral health. The main diseases of the teeth (caries) and of the supporting tissues (gingivitis and periodontitis) recognize a common causal factor, represented by bacterial plaque.

The topic is very broad, and involves different aspects ranging from individual susceptibility, to food hygiene, to the prevalence of certain bacterial species. Our hygienists, all graduates in Dental Hygiene, are the figures responsible for achieving the state of oral health, and its maintenance.

With them, our patients undergo sessions of 60 minutes, divided into a first part of diagnosis in which the oral conditions are monitored, followed by a second phase of active removal of soft and hard deposits of bacterial accumulation (scaling, root planing, curettage ), finally we move on to the control and recall phase of the home oral hygiene maneuvers so that they are always carried out in the most effective way possible for the individual patient. In this regard, refer to the "information sheets" of the website of the Italian Society of Periodontology www.sidp.it.

At the end of each session, a personalized maintenance program is decided, in terms of modalities and recall intervals, on the needs of each patient.
