Why professional dental hygiene matters — even if you brush carefully

Professional dental hygiene is not a luxury and not a cosmetic add-on before a wedding. It is the single most effective preventive treatment we can offer — and it usually decides how much you will spend on dentistry over the course of your life.

What dental hygiene actually addresses

A clean-looking smile is a nice side-effect, but the real goal is to prevent conditions that progress silently and only become obvious once they are advanced:

• gingivitis — bleeding gums, redness, swelling,
• periodontitis — loss of bone around teeth, mobility and eventual tooth loss,
• interdental decay in places brushing cannot reach,
• bad breath caused by bacterial biofilm,
• surface staining from tea, coffee, red wine and tobacco.

Why even excellent home care is not enough

An electric toothbrush and interdental brushes are the foundation of oral health, but there are always places you cannot reach: below the gumline, in the deep grooves of molars, around crowns, bridges and orthodontic appliances. Once plaque mineralises in those places, only a dental hygienist can remove it. The GBT protocol combined with EMS AIRFLOW® is designed precisely for those areas — first we see where the biofilm is, then we remove it gently and only where needed.

The economics of prevention

A regular hygiene visit is 1 990 CZK for 55 minutes, all-inclusive. Treating advanced periodontitis, root-canal therapy or replacing a lost tooth with an implant is an order of magnitude more expensive — and none of it restores what you have already lost.

When to book your first visit

Ideally before something starts to hurt. If it has been over a year since your last visit, if your gums bleed when you brush, or if you are planning a larger dental treatment (implant, prosthetics, orthodontics), a first visit is the logical starting point. It takes 60–75 minutes and costs 2 490 CZK, always including EMS AIRFLOW®.
