Dental hygiene Zurich (teeth cleaning)
Brushing your teeth with toothpaste and additionally cleaning the spaces between your teeth with dental floss at least twice a day is part of healthy oral hygiene. Professional cleaning is required for tartar and slowly developing discoloration on the tooth surface. If professional dental cleanings are carried out regularly, the risk of oral diseases such as gingivitis, periodontitis or tooth decay is significantly reduced.
At ZahnCity you will receive a gentle and thorough professional cleaning according to your individual needs. Some people are at greater risk of oral diseases, e.g. diabetics and smokers. We make every effort to ensure that each patient receives their personalized treatment. In some cases, frequent treatments are recommended. If desired or if necessary, we perform the treatment using an anaesthetic.

Regular dental hygiene to prevent periodontitis
Often we call it gum disease because it begins there. Inflammation in the gums is the first step of the disease. You notice the inflamed gums when they bleed during brushing or flossing. When the gums not bleed during cleaning it is a good sign. However, when time elapse with inflamed gums the inflammation continue down along the teeth and affect the tooth-holding threads (periodontal threads) and the bone around the teeth. With time the inflammation leads to a loss of periodontal threads and bone. In worst case the teeth will be loose or lost if the disease is not stopped.
It mainly starts because of poor dental hygiene but depends on many different factors. Smoking, genetics, critical periodontal bacteria and diabetes are important factors. What you can do to reduce the risk of periodontitis is stop smoking, maintain an adequate cleaning at home and regularly visit your dental hygienic.
In the end by doing a professional dental cleaning as recommended, you will save money, time and your healthy smile!
