Professional dental hygiene at AKESO POLIKLINIKA goes beyond the standard scale-and-polish to deliver a thorough clinical cleaning combined with personalised oral health education. Sessions are conducted by qualified dental hygienists in the clinic's dental department, located in Bucharova 1281/2. **Initial adult visit (60 min — 2,300 Kč):** The first appointment includes a comprehensive oral health assessment: charting of periodontal pocket depths, evaluation of bleeding on probing, radiograph review if available, and identification of risk factors (diet, lifestyle, systemic conditions). This baseline informs the personalised hygiene plan. Clinical cleaning uses ultrasonic scaling to remove supragingival and subgingival calculus (tartar), followed by manual curettes for precise root surface debridement where needed. Airflow polishing with a fine powder and pressurised water removes biofilm and surface staining from enamel surfaces and fissures without abrasion. Sessions finish with application of fluoride varnish or, for patients with sensitive teeth, a bioactive remineralising cream. Patients receive detailed instruction in toothbrushing technique (modified Bass method), interdental cleaning (floss, interdental brushes), and, where relevant, tongue cleaning and irrigation. A customised recall interval — typically 3, 6, or 12 months depending on periodontal risk — is agreed at the end of the appointment. **Maintenance (check-up) visits:** - Under 30 min: 1,550 Kč - Over 30 min: 2,050 Kč **Deep periodontal scaling (per quadrant):** For patients with active gum disease and subgingival calculus beyond what is addressable in a standard hygiene visit, AKESO offers full-mouth debridement across 4 quadrants: - 60-minute session per quadrant: 3,100 Kč - 90-minute session per quadrant: 3,800 Kč **Home whitening (8,500 Kč):** Custom-fitted trays (upper and lower) plus professional-grade whitening gel for take-home use. Impressions taken at the hygiene visit; trays collected at a subsequent appointment. Insurance note: Czech health insurers VZP (111) and ZPMV (211) contribute a partial annual benefit toward dental hygiene in 2025. Patients with these policies may apply the benefit to offset a portion of the hygiene visit cost. Contact dental reception to confirm the current contribution amount.
