PREVENTION

A visit to the dentist at least once a year even if there is no symptomatology is essential for the patients’ re-motivation by the specialist, it is also useful to strengthen habits and oral hygiene techniques.

In current preventive programs there are some determining factors, such as:

• Daily oral hygiene at least twice a day. Each brushing should last no less than 2 minutes.
• Removal of interdental plaque using interdental floss or interproximal brushes.
• Professional teeth cleaning every 6 or 12 months depending on the patients’ needs.
