MALO CLINIC

The guarantee of a lasting smile!

Oral Hygiene is a fundamental specialty in Dentistry. Responsible for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of oral diseases, it is also determinant to the maintenance of treatments performed in other specialties.

In addition to the detection of caries, gum disease or others, in this appointment the
removal of tartar and bacterial plaque is also performed through Scaling and Prophylaxis.

One of the main objectives of Oral Hygiene consultations is the education and promotion of good oral health habits. Maintaining the care recommended by the Oral Hygienist effectively eliminates the residues of food that accumulates in the teeth and gums. These include proper brushing (at least twice a day), the use of dental floss and / or the use of elixirs.

Visits to the Oral Hygienist should be regular, at least every six months, to ensure a lasting smile.

Treatments

  • Maintenance of Treatments Made

    Regular visits to oral hygiene consultations are essential to maintain oral health and the integrity of treatments performed at MALO CLINIC. During the consultation, implants, crowns, bridges or fixed prostheses on teeth or implants, as well as restorations, orthodontic appliances and devitalisations, are evaluated in order to diagnose any complications early on. All the preventive and therapeutic procedures performed during these consultations contribute to the longevity of these treatments.

  • Scaling

    Treatment consisting of the removal of bacterial plaque and tartar from dental surfaces through the use of an ultrasound device, aiming to eliminate the factors responsible for most gingival and dental problems.

  • Application of Fluorine

    Procedure used to prevent cavities and reduce tooth sensitivity, in which a gel with a high concentration of fluoride is applied to the surfaces of the teeth. This mineral acts on the dental enamel by remineralizing it and strengthening its structure.

  • Application of Sealants

    Non-invasive treatment for preventing cavities in which a fluid resin is applied on the chewing surfaces of the teeth; that fluid resin hardens after photopolymerization (incidence of a blue light LED), forming a smoother surface, easier to sanitize.

Did you know that...

  • The use of dental floss/dental tape and spiral brush does not cause the opening of interdental spaces.
  • Hard toothbrushes do not necessarilly mean a better brushing of the teeth and it is not necessary to apply a lot of friction with the toothbrush when brushing the teeth.
