The importance of proper dental hygiene

The dental hygiene or dental cleaning of the UDEMAX GROUP is the first step in many dental treatments, such as tooth whitening, desensitising treatments, etc. and is a means of preventing many other dental diseases.

In fact, daily, meticulous and constant dental hygiene at home of the teeth and mucous membranes is the best preventive treatment for most oral pathologies, but despite having a correct daily dental hygiene, with the passage of time plaque and tartar can accumulate on the gums and these become red and inflamed.

By having dental hygiene performed at Clinicas Udemax by one of our hygienists, we restore gingival health. It is very important that we carry out a professional dental hygiene at least once a year.

At Clinicas Udemax we are very strict, following the established protocol.

1. We anaesthetise if the patient requests it due to discomfort.
2. We use state-of-the-art ultrasonic devices for the removal of tartar.
3. Remove the stains with bicarbonate. If any stains remain, use a brush or rubber cup with prophylaxis paste.
4. In the case of patients who smoke and have a lot of stains, we insist until we obtain a good result.
5. If necessary, we apply fluoride for 1 minute with a cuvette.
6. When we carry out the dental hygiene, a professional will assess the state of your teeth in case there is a need for treatments such as whitening, orthodontics or prostheses, which could be used to improve your chewing or aesthetics.
7. We finish by giving the patient instructions on oral hygiene: proper brushing technique and the use of specific products in each case.
8. Depending on the needs of each patient, we recommend the use of products such as toothpaste, mouthwash, dental floss, interproximal brushes, type of toothbrush, tongue cleaners … insisting on the method of use and duration of the indicated treatment.
9. We inform the patient that he/she may have some sensitivity after the oral cleaning. If this is the case and it does not disappear in a few days, please consult us by coming to our surgery or by calling 971 767 522.
10. Finally, we would like to remind you of the frequency of dental hygiene at Clinicas Udemax and the importance of regular check-ups.

Don’t forget that dental hygiene at Clinicas Udemax by our professionals at least once a year is vital to maintain proper oral hygiene that complements daily dental hygiene.
