Dental Hygiene with Fluoride

A professional cleaning that removes plaque, tartar and surface staining from above and below the gumline, finishing with polishing, a fluoride application and tailored oral-hygiene advice. Regular hygiene visits help keep the gums healthy and reduce the risk of decay and gum disease, and give the dentist a chance to spot early problems. At Milanova the full appointment combines scaling, polishing, fluoride and an instruction session in one visit.

Professional dental hygiene at Milanova is a thorough cleaning that addresses the hardened deposits and biofilm a toothbrush cannot reach. Using ultrasonic scaling the hygienist or dentist removes calculus (tartar) from the tooth surfaces and along the gumline, then polishes the teeth to lift staining and leave a smooth finish that slows the build-up of new plaque. A fluoride application follows to help strengthen the enamel, and you are shown brushing and interdental cleaning techniques tailored to your mouth. Keeping plaque and tartar under control is one of the most effective ways to protect against tooth decay and gum disease, and routine hygiene appointments also let the clinical team monitor your gums and catch small issues before they become larger ones. The full appointment is suitable for most adults and is commonly recommended once or twice a year, more often for patients prone to staining or gum problems or those wearing fixed braces. The clinic also offers scaling or a fluoride treatment as standalone items where only part of the service is needed. Hygiene is frequently the starting point before whitening, restorative or orthodontic work so that treatment is carried out on a clean, healthy foundation.
