Dental hygiene in Geneva: why a professional cleaning is essential for your oral health

Keeping your teeth healthy takes more than brushing: find out why regular professional care is a must

Daily brushing is essential, but on its own it isn’t enough to guarantee a perfectly healthy mouth. Even with good home care, tartar and bacterial plaque build up in hard-to-reach areas. That’s where you need the crucial support ofprofessional dental hygiene.

At Aura, our dental clinic in Geneva, we offer hygiene care for all ages in a caring, modern setting, with qualified, attentive hygienists.

What does a professional dental hygiene appointment involve?

A dental hygiene appointment is much more than a simple scaling. It’s a comprehensive preventive treatment, including:

• A An assessment of your gum health and your hygiene at home
• The scaling and cleaning (removal of tartar using ultrasound or by hand)
• The Polishing of the teeth to remove stains
• – Personalized advice on brushing and the right tools for you (floss, interdental brushes, water flosser…)
• If needed, a fluoride application to strengthen the enamel

Why get a professional cleaning regularly?

Here are the main benefits of in-clinic hygiene care:

✅ Prevent gum disease (gingivitis, periodontitis)

Bleeding gums are never normal. Professional hygiene care helps prevent chronic inflammation and bone loss around the teeth.

✅ Remove invisible plaque and tartar

Even with good brushing, some areas remain out of reach (between the teeth, behind the molars…). An in-clinic cleaning is essential for thorough oral hygiene.

✅ Keep your smile healthy and beautiful

Regular polishing helps preserve the natural whiteness of your teeth by removing stains caused by coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco…

✅ Protect your existing dental work

Implants, crowns, orthodontic appliances: how long they last depends largely on regular maintenance and the health of the surrounding tissues.

How often should you have a scaling and cleaning?

In general, we recommend:

• Every 6 to 12 months for most patients
• Every 3 to 4 months for people prone to plaque, bleeding gums or periodontal problems
• After any orthodontic or periodontitis treatment, to stabilize the results

Our hygienists help you determine the ideal frequency for your oral health needs.
