The most important information at a glance
After a treatment with one of our dental hygienists, an aftercare program often follows. We focus on maintaining your teeth and preventing problems from recurring or arising. This includes cleaning your teeth, checkups, and practical advice you can apply at home.
Why aftercare is important
Even if you brush and floss properly, plaque or tartar remains. This is unavoidable. Without proper aftercare, this could lead to bleeding gums, bad breath, or even cavities. By returning regularly for regular checkups, you can ensure your mouth stays healthy.
How often is aftercare needed?
How often you need to return depends on your situation. For most people, twice a year is sufficient. If you have problems such as sensitive gums or other previous complaints, it's better to stick to 3 or 4 visits a year. During the intake, our specialists will determine what's necessary for your teeth and situation.
The aftercare appointment
The aftercare appointment often proceeds as follows:
- Your teeth and gums are checked
- Tartar or new plaque on your teeth is removed
- If necessary, we can polish teeth for a smooth feeling
- We give you practical advice for home use
- A new aftercare appointment is scheduled
