Prevention

Why prevention

Advantages of preventive consultation

Early detection
Problems identified early are simpler, less invasive and significantly less expensive to fix.
Gum health
Regular tartar removal preserves periodontal health and prevents progressive bone loss.
Reduces systemic risk
Oral health is associated with cardiovascular health, diabetes and other systemic conditions.
Healthy breath
Clean teeth and gums eliminate the main causes of bacterial halitosis.
Very low cost
Preventive cost is a fraction of any curative treatment — especially implants or root canal therapy.
2× per year
Ideal frequency of appointments. In cases of increased risk (periodontitis, orthodontics), can be every 3 months.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about prevention

How often should I visit the dentist?

The general rule is every 6 months. In specific cases (gum disease, orthodontics, recent implants), every 3 months may be recommended.

Does scaling damage tooth enamel?

No. Professional instruments (ultrasonic + polishing) work on tartar, not enamel. What damages enamel is accumulated bacterial plaque — exactly what scaling removes.

I feel sensitivity after cleaning. Is this normal?

Yes, especially when there is prolonged tartar build-up. Sensitivity typically disappears in 1–2 days. Desensitising toothpastes can help.

Do I need X-rays at every appointment?

No. X-rays are taken only when clinically indicated — typically a full mouth X-ray every 2–3 years or when there is suspicion of interproximal decay.

Do mouthwashes replace brushing?

No. Mouthwashes are complementary, never a substitute. Mechanical removal of plaque (brushing + flossing) is irreplaceable.
