Dental Hygiene

Professional dental hygiene at Modrý pavilon removes plaque and tartar and helps maintain healthy teeth and gums. The price includes individual oral-hygiene aids tailored to each patient. Initial and repeat visits are offered for adults, with reduced rates for children, and gift vouchers are available.

Professional dental hygiene is a preventive treatment that removes plaque, tartar (calculus) and surface staining that daily brushing and flossing cannot fully address, helping to prevent gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis) and tooth decay. **What a session involves:** A dental hygienist assesses the gums and teeth, then removes hard and soft deposits — typically using ultrasonic scaling and hand instruments — followed by polishing and, where appropriate, the application of preventive agents. The hygienist also reviews brushing and interdental cleaning technique and recommends individual oral-hygiene aids, which at Modrý pavilon are included in the price. **Initial vs repeat:** The initial visit is more thorough and includes a fuller assessment; repeat maintenance visits are quicker and offered at a lower rate. Reduced rates apply for children (to 5 years, and 6–15 years), supporting good habits from an early age. **Frequency:** Most adults benefit from professional hygiene every six to twelve months, though those with gum disease or a higher risk of decay may be advised to attend more often. **Aftercare:** Teeth may feel slightly sensitive for a short period and gums may be tender if there was inflammation. Normal eating and drinking can resume the same day, following any specific advice given.
