Professional Dental Hygiene

A complete professional hygiene session at Dynasty Stomatology includes ultrasonic removal of tartar, AirFlow air-polishing to lift surface staining from coffee, tea and smoking, polishing, and individual home-care coaching. The clinic runs a dedicated hygiene protocol for orthodontic patients — including clear aligner wearers — keeping enamel healthy throughout months of tray or appliance wear. Regular professional hygiene every six months is the foundation of preventive dentistry, reducing the risk of decay, gum bleeding and periodontitis, and it is the standard preparation step before whitening or aligner treatment at the clinic.

Professional dental hygiene removes the calcified plaque (tartar) and bacterial biofilm that home brushing cannot reach — the primary driver of gum inflammation, bleeding, bad breath, and ultimately periodontitis and tooth loss. **The session:** The hygienist first assesses gum health and plaque distribution. Ultrasonic scaling vibrates tartar off the tooth surfaces above and just below the gumline. AirFlow air-polishing then sprays a fine jet of water, air and powder to remove embedded surface stains and residual biofilm — gentler on enamel than rubber-cup polishing alone and especially effective for coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco staining. The visit finishes with polishing, optional fluoride application, and personalised instruction on brushing technique, interdental cleaning and tools matched to the patient's mouth. **For orthodontic and aligner patients:** Fixed appliances and all-day tray wear both raise plaque accumulation risk. The clinic's dedicated orthodontic hygiene service (2,700 Kč) works around brackets and aligner attachments and is recommended at shorter intervals during active treatment. **Frequency:** Every 6 months for most adults; every 3–4 months for periodontal patients or those in orthodontic treatment. **Related services:** Tartar removal and AirFlow are also available as standalone services; periodontal patients can step up to the periodontology department for deep cleaning (SRP) by quadrant.
