Professional Dental Hygiene

Professional dental hygiene at Dental Office H33 removes plaque, tartar, and surface pigmentation, cleans interdental spaces, and finishes with polishing and fluoridation — followed by personalised home-care coaching with the right brushing tools and technique. The first comprehensive session takes about 60 minutes and costs 2,200 Kč; regular maintenance visits are 1,890–1,990 Kč at intervals the hygienist sets based on the condition of your teeth and gums. Deep scaling (4,500 Kč) is available for periodontal cases, and dedicated children's hygiene starts at 990 Kč. Regular hygiene is strongly recommended before whitening and during clear-aligner treatment.

Professional dental hygiene is the foundation of preventive dentistry: regular removal of plaque and calculus reliably reduces tooth decay and prevents periodontal (gum) disease — the leading cause of adult tooth loss. At Dental Office H33, hygiene is delivered by dedicated dental hygienists working alongside the clinic's periodontology department. **What the appointment includes:** the hygienist removes dental plaque, surface pigmentation (coffee, tea, tobacco staining), and tartar above and below the gumline, then cleans the interdental spaces, polishes the teeth, and applies fluoride. You're shown the correct cleaning aids for your mouth — brush type, interdental brushes, floss — and practise home technique with the hygienist. The first comprehensive visit takes around 60 minutes. **Maintenance schedule:** recall intervals (typically every 3–6 months) are set individually by the dentist or hygienist according to the state of your teeth and periodontium. Regular maintenance visits cost 1,890–1,990 Kč. **Deep scaling — 4,500 Kč:** for patients with periodontal pockets and subgingival calculus, a more intensive scaling and root debridement session supports gum healing and is often the first step of periodontal therapy. **Children:** hygiene visits are offered from mixed dentition (990 Kč) through permanent dentition (1,490 Kč), with a specific protocol for children wearing fixed braces (1,590 Kč). **Why it matters during orthodontics:** clean enamel and healthy gums are prerequisites for aligner or brace treatment, and hygiene during treatment prevents decalcification spots. The clinic's BlancOne Click whitening (1,490 Kč) can be added immediately after a hygiene session for a brighter finish.
