Hygiene and Prevention

Toothache is severe, unbearable and undesirable. Therefore, it is better to prevent the occurrence of dental diseases than to treat them later. Our Center for Practical Dentistry in the city of Ivano-Frankivsk and Mizhhiria recommends regular professional dental hygiene. After all, this is an important component of disease prevention in combination with daily oral hygiene. The frequency of its conduct, as a rule, once or twice a year, but it is set individually for each patient, taking into account the condition of the teeth and the situation.

Our team of experts always cares about the health of your oral cavity, therefore we strongly recommend timely preventive measures and professional hygiene to prevent diseases.

Oral hygiene

To prevent the occurrence of caries or other diseases of the teeth and oral cavity, the main rules of hygiene should be observed daily. This must be done from the first weeks of life, accustoming the child to important habits that should be followed daily.

Our prevention doctors recommend that you follow these simple tips:

• Brushing your teeth twice a day with a high-quality, properly selected toothpaste (containing fluoride) and a brush of optimal hardness;
• The use of flosses (dental floss) and interdental brushes for the qualitative removal of plaque and food debris from the interdental spaces;
• A balanced diet so that the body receives the necessary amount of trace elements and minerals;
• A regular preventive check-up at the dentist is recommended twice a year.

Accustom the child from the first weeks of life to the daily proper oral hygiene – make a profitable investment in his health for life.

Professional dental hygiene for adults and children

You need to take care of the child’s health from childhood to prevent future problems. As well as adults, children are advised to carry out professional dental hygiene. During this procedure, dental deposits and stones are removed, which eventually lead to the appearance of dental diseases. The methods and means by which children’s professional hygiene occurs are of course different from those used for adults. They are selected according to the recommendations of the pediatric dentist.

As often as it is necessary to conduct professional hygiene for children, the dentist decides. At the same time, the doctor takes into account the age and condition of the oral cavity, the presence of independent hygiene skills in children and the general state of health. After brushing your teeth, a remineralization procedure is performed, which strengthens and protects the still weak (immature) enamel, saturating it with fluorine and other minerals.

Fissure sealing – prevention of caries in children

One of the most effective methods of caries prevention in children is the sealing (sealing) of fissures (depressions on the chewing surface of healthy teeth between their hills). This method is used for both milk and permanent teeth in children. The main goal of this procedure is to fill the natural indentations with filling material (sealant). This material protects the surface, makes it less embossed, prevents the accumulation of plaque in the fissures and strengthens the tooth enamel. As a rule, children do not often brush their chewing teeth carefully, or the enamel which has not finished mineralizing in the fissures. Immature enamel and soft plaque provide good conditions for the development of caries.

The doctors of our Center for Practical Dentistry, which are located in Mizhhiria and Ivano-Frankivsk, believe that a healthy smile should be brought up from childhood. That is why we consider disease prevention and daily hygiene the basis of health.
