An individual oral hygiene program should be introduced already in early childhood. Parents have both the responsibility and the role of shaping their child’s oral care habits. A child’s first encounter with the dentist can influence their attitude for a lifetime—most dental anxiety originates from childhood experiences.
For this reason, we recommend bringing children to the clinic as soon as the first baby teeth appear. By around the age of 3, the full set of primary teeth is usually in place. It is important not to wait until problems arise.
If a child can first simply accompany their parent, become familiar with the dental environment in a playful way, try sitting in the dental chair, and explore the instruments without any unpleasant experience, they are much more likely to return calmly and confidently in the future.
This is important for two reasons:
- It helps the child develop a natural habit of regular dental check-ups
- It allows early detection of any issues, making treatment simpler and more comfortable
Our goal is to ensure that children never leave the clinic with negative experiences. Patience, kindness, and a playful approach are therefore essential.
Individual oral hygiene program
A healthy smile is one of the foundations of everyday success and self-confidence. To achieve and maintain it, patients need to learn proper brushing techniques with the help of our individual oral hygiene program.
This program is developed jointly by the dentist and the dental hygienist. During the process, we teach the correct brushing technique and methods of interdental cleaning, highlight hard-to-reach areas, and recommend suitable products such as toothpaste and mouth rinses tailored to the patient’s dental condition.
Regular check-ups
The first and most important step is learning proper oral hygiene. To treat and prevent gum and periodontal inflammation, regular tartar removal is essential, including both supragingival and subgingival cleaning.
Overhanging fillings and dental caries can also cause gum inflammation. In addition, it is important to identify any possible systemic or hormonal factors that may contribute to the condition. For example, pregnant women are more prone to gum inflammation due to hormonal changes, as well as to tooth decay due to changes in saliva composition.
To prevent periodontal disease, it is recommended to attend dental check-ups every six months.
