Frequently asked questions
Professional teeth cleaning is generally safe, but as with any medical treatment, there are certain risks associated with professional teeth cleaning:
- Release of bacteria: During cleaning, bacteria from dental pockets could enter the bloodstream, especially in immunocompromised patients.
- Infection with pathogens: Bleeding during treatment could lead to infections, depending on the hygiene standards in the practice. Preventive disinfection of the oral cavity is advisable.
- Damage to the tooth surface: There is a risk of damage to the tooth surface if airflow devices are used incorrectly.
- Scratches on implants: Implant surfaces can be more sensitive. Special instruments or gentle powders are required to avoid scratches.
- Rapid formation of new plaque: Plaque forms again within 24 hours of cleaning. Nevertheless, the removal of tartar is advisable.
- Pain during and after treatment: Some patients may experience pain during treatment, especially if tooth necks are exposed. Pain after treatment may be due to the removal of tartar and should normally subside within two to three days.
Yes, patients with braces can and should take advantage of professional dental cleanings, as oral hygiene is made more difficult by the braces. These cleanings are important to prevent tooth decay and gum disease. Regular visits to the dentist and oral hygiene counselling are crucial.
Yes, regular dental hygiene can help to reduce or prevent bad breath. Bad breath is often caused by bacteria that can accumulate in the oral cavity and cause bad odour. A professional dental cleaning removes plaque and tartar, reducing the amount of bacteria and improving oral hygiene.
Not usually. It is a non-invasive treatment in which the dentist or dental hygienist removes tartar and plaque from the teeth and gums and polishes the teeth. This process is usually painless and requires no anaesthetic. However, you may experience some discomfort or tooth sensitivity during the treatment. However, if you have a specific dental condition, particular sensitivity or fear of pain, you can speak to your dentist about possible anaesthetic options.
The costs of dental hygiene are not normally covered by health insurance, as it is generally regarded as a preventive measure and therefore falls within the scope of supplementary insurance.
Here are some of the most important tips to promote and maintain your oral health in the long term:
- Brush your teeth properly: Brush your teeth at least twice a day for two minutes with fluoride toothpaste. Use a soft toothbrush and make sure to thoroughly clean all teeth, gum lines and tongue.
- Use dental floss: Floss daily to remove plaque and food debris from between your teeth. Be sure to be gentle and wrap the floss in a C-shape around each tooth to allow for thorough cleaning.
- Use mouthwash: An antimicrobial mouthwash can help kill bacteria in the mouth and reduce bad breath. Use the mouthwash after brushing your teeth and rinse your mouth thoroughly.
- Follow a balanced diet: A healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains not only supports your overall health, but also has positive effects on your tooth and gum health.
- Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption: These habits can lead to tooth and gum disease. Try to quit or at least reduce smoking and drink alcohol in moderation.
- Regular visits to the dentist: Make regular appointments with your dentist for check-ups and professional teeth cleaning. Your dentist can monitor the condition of your teeth and gums and recognise problems at an early stage.
Dental hygiene is crucial for oral health and has an impact on overall well-being. Here are some reasons why dental hygiene is so important:
- Prevention of tooth decay
- Prevention of gum disease
- Early detection of problems - promoting fresh breath
- Maintaining general health: There is a link between oral health and general health, including heart disease, diabetes and pregnancy complications.
After a dental cleaning, you should not eat or drink anything for at least 30 minutes. This gives your teeth and gums time to recover from the treatment and to allow any fluoride products used to work optimally. You should also refrain from smoking during this time, as smoking after a dental cleaning can impair healing.
The terms "tooth cleaning" and "dental hygiene" are often used interchangeably, but they refer to different aspects of oral health.
Dental cleaning usually refers to the professional cleaning of teeth by a dentist or dental hygienist. It includes the removal of plaque, tartar and discolouration from the tooth surfaces as well as cleaning the spaces between the teeth.
On the other hand, dental hygiene refers to the practice of oral health and dental care in general. It includes proper oral hygiene at home, such as regular brushing, flossing and mouth rinsing. In addition, dental hygiene also includes aspects such as diet and lifestyle that can affect oral health.
During a dental hygiene treatment, various steps are taken to improve oral health and prevent disease. These include
- Examination: the mouth is thoroughly examined to assess the condition of the teeth, gums and oral cavity and identify any potential problems.
- Professional teeth cleaning: Plaque and tartar are removed from the teeth, and tooth surfaces are polished to remove discolouration.
- Gum pocket measurement: In case of gum disease, gum pockets are measured to monitor the condition of the gums.
- Oral hygiene instruction: Patients are given instructions on proper oral hygiene, including brushing techniques, flossing and mouth rinses.
- Counselling and recommendations: Personalised advice on oral health as well as dietary recommendations and possible dental treatments are given.
Yes, dental hygiene can also be carried out on dental prostheses. Although dental prostheses such as crowns, bridges or implants are not susceptible to tooth decay, regular cleaning and care is still necessary to maintain the health of the gums and the durability of the dental prosthesis.
Yes, professional teeth cleaning is also important for children. Although milk teeth change, it is still very important to take good care of them and protect them from dental problems.
Professional teeth cleaning can be minimally uncomfortable for some people, but as a rule it should not cause any pain.
The duration of a professional dental cleaning depends on the condition of your teeth. As a rule, the treatment takes about 30 minutes to an hour or longer.
The price of dental hygiene or teeth cleaning varies depending on the condition of your teeth and the duration of treatment required. Treatment starts from 150 CHF.
The frequency of professional teeth cleaning depends on various factors. General guidelines are:
- Every 6 months: Most people benefit from a professional dental cleaning every 6 months. This is considered the standard recommendation and allows for early detection and treatment of dental problems.
- Annually: If you have excellent oral hygiene, no dental problems and no particular concerns, an annual professional dental cleaning may be sufficient.
- Every 3 months or more frequently: In some cases, such as people with periodontal disease (gum disease) or other special needs, more frequent professional teeth cleaning may be required. This is usually recommended by the dentist.
