Prevention
Dental Cleaning & Tartar Removal Geneva
Why is prevention essential?
Dental prevention in Geneva is the key to good oral health. Regular check-ups allow problems to be detected at an early stage, helping to avoid more extensive conservative treatments or surgical interventions.
Professional dental cleaning (scaling)
Scaling in Geneva performed by our dental hygienists (SDH) removes tartar and plaque that brushing cannot reach. This treatment is essential for preventing cavities and gum disease.
What happens during a scaling session:
- • Removal of supra- and subgingival tartar
- • Polishing of tooth surfaces
- • Fluoride application (if necessary)
- • Personalized hygiene advice
- • Assessment of gum health
How often should you visit?
The ideal frequency depends on your oral health:
Every 6 months: standard recommendation for most adults
Every 3–4 months: patients with a history of periodontal disease
Once a year: individuals with excellent hygiene and low risk of cavities
Periodontal diseases
Gingivitis and periodontitis are gum diseases caused by the accumulation of bacteria. If left untreated, they can lead to gum recession and tooth loss. Prevention and oral hygiene are the best defenses against these conditions.
Daily hygiene advice
Brush 3 times a day for at least 2 minutes
Use dental floss or interdental brushes
Replace your toothbrush every 1–2 months
Maintain a balanced diet with limited sugar intake
Avoid smoking, a major aggravating factor for periodontal disease
