Prevention is the best way to take care of your smile. Good daily oral hygiene, healthy eating habits, regular dental checkups, and professional hygiene appointments are essential. This proactive approach helps prevent the most common oral diseases (caries, gingivitis, periodontal disease), identify potential problems early, maintain optimal oral health after treatment, and maintain a healthy and pleasant smile.
For a thorough cleaning, regular professional oral hygiene sessions are essential. The hygienist removes plaque and tartar (both above and below the gum line) with ultrasonic and manual instruments, then removes stains and polishes the teeth. These sessions are also an important opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of the patient’s home hygiene routine and to provide instruction and motivation regarding proper dietary habits and brushing techniques.
GBT (Guided Biofilm Therapy) Protocol
Patients often avoid professional oral hygiene sessions due to discomfort or pain. The GBT (Guided Biofilm Therapy) Protocol is an innovative methodology that allows these sessions to be performed quickly, painlessly, and extremely effectively, while fully respecting the oral tissues.
Oral biofilm (plaque) is first highlighted with specific dyes to make it visible. Its removal, along with tartar and recent stains, is achieved through the use of special powders (bicarbonate, glycine, erythritol) and calibrated, particularly gentle ultrasound:
This advanced protocol ensures maximum patient comfort and safety, preserving the integrity of teeth, soft tissues, and restorations.
