Dental cleaning and check-ups

Detailed examination to detect early signs of anomalies, prevent cavities and avoid periodontal disease

Feeling no pain does not necessarily mean your teeth are healthy. It is recommended to have at least one dental check-up per year. Regular professional cleanings and examinations, combined with good daily oral hygiene habits, are essential to maintain healthy teeth and gums.

In the dental clinic, a thorough examination of the mouth is carried out to detect early anomalies, prevent cavities and avoid gum disease (periodontitis), which is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Every euro invested in prevention saves ten or more in future treatments.

Procedure for a professional dental cleaning

  • Professional dental cleaning, or prophylaxis, is one of the most common and important preventive dental treatments.
  • Its main goal is to remove tartar build-up and stains from the teeth and below the gum line.
  • It typically lasts between 30 and 45 minutes and is recommended at least once a year.
  • Depending on each patient’s oral hygiene, more frequent or deeper cleanings may be required.
  • During the visit, brushing techniques are reviewed and personalised advice is given on the best oral hygiene products.

Benefits of dental cleaning

  • Reduces gum inflammation, prevents oral diseases and protects teeth.
  • Provides a clean, fresh feeling that daily brushing cannot achieve.
  • Visible results from the first session — a clean, healthy and refreshed mouth.
  • Both patients and dentistry experts agree that dental cleanings are painless.
