Professional oral hygiene is a quick, effective, painless procedure and a key preventive measure to help you maintain a healthy and beautiful smile, reduce tooth sensitivity, and protect your teeth from tooth decay and periodontitis. Regular treatment every 6 months prevents a wide range of dental and gum diseases and helps to detect dental problems at an early stage of their formation. Dental problems that are resolved in time do not require complex treatment, saving you health and money.
Professional oral hygiene at "Šypsenos Akademija" is performed using the "Air Flow" method. This is an innovative equipment procedure for professional oral hygiene. Using a strong stream of air, water and baking soda, it quickly, thoroughly and painlessly removes all the plaque accumulated on the surface of the teeth and provides protection against tooth decay and other oral diseases. This method will leave your mouth feeling pleasantly comfortable and clean.
As a general rule, it is recommended that patients undergo professional oral hygiene regularly every 6 months. However, the frequency of the procedures depends on the patient's individual oral condition, the intensity of tartar accumulation, and the time and attention the patient devotes to dental care at home:
Plaque and tartar build up much faster with poor oral hygiene habits at home, which is why it is recommended to have an oral hygiene check every 4 months.
People with periodontal disease should have professional oral hygiene at least once every 3 months.
For patients undergoing orthodontic treatment, due to the more complex oral hygiene at home, professional oral hygiene should be carried out every 3-4 months to prevent inflammation and caries formation.
It is the most effective preventive measure to ensure dental health. Dental plaque and bacteria are the main causes of tooth decay and periodontitis. Professional oral hygiene cleans the hard-to-reach areas of the teeth and interdental spaces that are difficult to access at home.
Timely detection of dental problems at an early stage of tooth formation. The oral hygienist carefully examines the patient's teeth, informs if abnormalities are noticed and if treatment is needed.
Plaque that stays for a long time turns into tartar, which irritates the gums and looks unaesthetic. This build-up eventually leads to the loss of gum tissue and tooth loss. Periodic professional oral hygiene prevents tartar build-up.
In poor oral health, gingivitis can develop. In this case, the patient may experience unpleasant sensations during professional oral hygiene, which may lead to an anaesthetic procedure. In this case, the patient will not feel any discomfort during professional oral hygiene.
During the procedure, the oral hygienist provides detailed information on home dental care and the most effective measures for the patient's individual oral condition.

Professional dental cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, the frequency depends on each patient’s individual oral health, the rate of tartar buildup, and their at-home hygiene habits. For some, cleanings may be necessary every 4 months. Patients with periodontal disease should have a cleaning at least every 3 months. Those undergoing orthodontic treatment should schedule cleanings every 3–4 months.
Yes. Even with excellent oral care, it’s impossible to remove all plaque and bacteria at home. That’s why a professional cleaning every 6 months is still recommended.
No. Mouthwash helps slow plaque formation but does not remove it. Proper brushing, flossing, and the use of interdental brushes or other tools—recommended by your dental hygienist based on your individual case—are necessary.
Therapeutic mouthwashes are prescribed to serve specific purposes—such as treating inflammation, oral sores, or tooth sensitivity. Your dental hygienist will explain which product is best for you during your hygiene appointment.
Yes. Coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and other staining substances can cause pigment-rich plaque to form more quickly.
Not necessarily. Bad breath is often caused by bacteria and plaque trapped between teeth, on the tongue, or in gum pockets. During a professional cleaning, the hygienist will assess your oral health and determine if treatment is needed.
Yes, the procedure can be performed for children once their teeth have erupted.
Generally, no. If you have sensitive teeth, you may experience mild discomfort. In such cases, anesthesia can be provided to ensure a painless procedure.
It is recommended to avoid eating, drinking staining beverages (coffee, tea, sodas, wine), or smoking for 3 hours after the procedure.
You should visit a dental hygienist every 6 months. Immediate visits are recommended if you notice signs of gum inflammation or periodontitis. Cleanings are especially important before orthodontic treatment, teeth whitening, implants, prosthetics, or root canal therapy.
Yes. Mild discomfort, sensitivity to heat or cold, and slight gum bleeding are normal for a few days after a professional cleaning. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a sensitivity-reducing toothpaste. These symptoms usually subside within two days, and your mouth fully recovers within two weeks. If discomfort persists, contact your dental clinic.
