Effective prevention programs prevent dental pathologies.

Airflow technology for your dental hygiene
Preventive dentistry aims to eliminate bacterial plaque from our patients in order to avoid pathologies such as dental caries or gum disease.
Our prevention programs begin with a short class on good oral hygiene habits. For this purpose, our hygienists reproduce the brushing process with our patients until they are sure they have learned it. It is important to use circular movements and to reach the entire surface of the tooth. The use of dental floss or interproximal brushes is essential to remove plaque between the teeth that cannot be reached with a normal toothbrush.
Daily hygiene at home should be complemented with periodic hygiene sessions at the clinic, performed by a professional hygienist. Through this deep hygiene we are able to eliminate all dental plaque and control any possible pathology. The periodicity will be between 4 and 12 months depending on the case.
