Professional Dental Hygiene

A 50–60 minute professional dental hygiene session at MILES Dental Care covering ultrasonic or manual tartar removal, elimination of surface staining from coffee, tea and smoking, interdental cleaning, tooth polishing, and personalised home-care instruction. The clinic markets the visit as deliberately painless and backs it with a satisfaction guarantee: if you are not happy with the treatment, you do not pay. Hygiene is recommended every six months for most patients, and every three to four months for smokers, patients with gum disease, or those wearing braces, aligners or implants — making it a natural companion service for the clinic's aligner patients.

Professional dental hygiene removes the hardened plaque (tartar/calculus) and surface staining that home brushing cannot reach, protecting against gum disease, decay and bad breath while keeping teeth visibly cleaner and brighter. **What the session includes:** The 50–60 minute appointment at MILES covers ultrasonic and/or manual removal of supragingival and accessible subgingival tartar; removal of surface pigmentation caused by coffee, tea, red wine and smoking; thorough cleaning of interdental spaces; polishing of all tooth surfaces to slow new plaque adhesion; and individual instruction in home care — brushing technique, interdental brushes and floss selection matched to your mouth. **Painless approach:** MILES builds its brand around fear-free dentistry ('dental care where fear has no place'). Hygienists work gently, explain each step, and the clinic offers an unusual guarantee: if you are not satisfied with your hygiene visit, you do not pay. **Recommended frequency:** Every 6 months for general maintenance. Every 3–4 months for smokers, patients with periodontal (gum) disease, and patients with fixed braces, clear aligners or implants — where plaque control is critical to treatment success. **For aligner patients:** Regular hygiene is strongly recommended during clear-aligner treatment, since trays worn 20–22 hours a day can trap plaque against the teeth. Many MILES aligner patients combine their 2–3-monthly orthodontic check-ups with a hygiene session at the same visit. **The team:** The hygiene department is led by Mgr. Bc. Markéta Marušanová and is one of the clinic's most-reviewed services, with self-reported five-star Google ratings across hundreds of reviews. The Nový Smíchov branch operates seven days a week including evenings, so appointments fit around work hours.
