Healthy smile from childhood

Lots of people in Slovakia still do not realize that with correct dental care they could prevent pain, expensive dental treatment and ultimately the loss of teeth.
It is scientifically proven that prevention is the easiest, most effective and cheapest way to prevent oral diseases. One form of the prevention is the dental hygiene. The modern dentistry aims that tooth diseases and periodontal do not occur at all.

I am working as a preventist in the dental ambulance named D.Gross s.r.o. in Komárno for 7 years.Daily, we encounter the most common issue called gingivitis– inflammation of the gums. 90% of people, including children suffer with this issue. Dental hygiene is a dental division, which focuses on gum disease, tooth decay, and in particular the prevention of these diseases. The work of preventists and hygienists is closely linked with the work of the dentist. It ensures the highest quality of care for oral health. The aim of the dental hygiene is a professional teeth cleaning, removal of tartar and pigments, polishing of teeth and fillings.

The task of the preventist is to clearly inform the patient about the problem, about the disease and its treatment. Creates conditions (motivation, briefing) so the patient knew how to properly perform the role of the dental hygiene at home. Teaches patients the proper treatment and techniques they help himat the selection of devices for the correct dental hygiene. A patient often does not know what is suitable for him, because he is flooded with products from the ads. Preventist helps patients to orientate in this area. Professional teeth cleaning should be taken2x per year. It helps to maintain healthy teeth and gums, which improve the overall appearance and even provide fresh breath without chewing gums.
