Proper oral hygiene
Good oral or dental hygiene should be established by adopting four habits:
- Brushing.
- Flossing.
- Oral rinse.
- Regular visits to the dentist.
It is also important to control the intake of certain foods, especially those that are potential causes of cavities, particularly sugars such as sucrose and glucose, and to avoid unhealthy habits such as smoking.
The most frequent dental problems and diseases due to incorrect or insufficient oral hygiene are:
- Excessive bacterial plaque and tartar.
- Caries formation.
- Halitosis.
- Gingivitis and periodontitis.

Professional oral hygiene (prophylaxis)
At our Dent Blau clinic, our dentists and hygienists will perform a professional dental cleaning, reaching all areas of your mouth that require it, using specialized instruments to achieve the best results. The goal is to remove as much plaque and tartar as possible from your teeth, gum line, and interdental spaces.
During your dental cleaning, the dentist will perform a general check-up of your teeth, gums, and mucous membranes. This check-up helps prevent or detect any potential oral diseases or problems early.
Next, the hardened bacterial plaque (tartar) is removed using ultrasonic devices that reach areas where brushing at home cannot.
Once the ultrasound has been used, the teeth are brushed with a special prophylaxis paste and, if necessary, special attention is paid to stains or discolored areas.
Finally, topical fluoridation is applied, as fluoride remineralizes tooth enamel and increases its resistance to bacteria. This provides greater protection against cavities.
In addition, the specialist will teach you the correct technique for brushing your teeth, as well as some tips and habits to follow.
