Dear Patient

By the following suggestions and displaying teeth-cleaning techniques, we would like to help you to save your teeth longer with proper care.

Toothbrush

It is the most important aid.
The bristles of the suitable toothbrush are elastic, its head is small. If the bristles of your toothbrush discolour or bend, you have to change it. After each teeth-cleaning, clean the toothbrush carefully and keep it in dry place.

Toothpaste

Ask for your specialist's advice when you choose your toothpaste since all kinds of toothpaste cannot be recommended to all our patients.

Teeth-cleaning techniques

You have to use different kinds of methods so that your teeth will be completely clean. The aim is that the toothbrush can reach the whole surface of the own teeth, the bridges and the restorations. The most adequate technique for you will be explained and shown by your dental surgeon.
It is important to rinse your mouth carefully before and after teeth-cleaning.

Dental floss

The dental surgeon suggests using dental floss to clean the tooth-spaces out of reach.

Interdental toothbrush

You can clean the surface of your teeth with an ordinary toothbrush, but you cannot forget the parts between the teeth and bridges. In this case we recommend using the interdental toothbrush.
If you have loosened the deposits while teeth-cleaning, you can easily remove them with a mouth shower.
ATTENTION! It is not enough to use a mouth shower!

How long does the tooth-cleaning have to take?

After each meal it has to take at least 3 minutes in the case of a complete set of teeth. Useful advice! Check the result of the tooth-cleaning in a mirror!
