Dental hygiene in Prague
Dental hygiene is the basis for healthy gums, fresh breath and long-term stability of teeth and fillings. At our practice, we do it carefully and with an emphasis on comfort – with modern equipment including AirFlow and the option of local anaesthesia if required.
Big advantage: the doctor is on site. If a finding comes up during hygiene that is worth checking, you can deal with it effectively without delay.

For whom is dental hygiene
Dental hygiene is suitable for anyone who wants to keep their teeth and gums healthy, as well as for those who are dealing with bleeding gums, bad breath or tartar build-up. It also makes sense as a preventative measure – minor problems can often be stopped before they escalate into treatment.
Typically, we recommend coming if:
- bleeding gums when brushing or eating
- you have tartar or pigmentation (coffee/tea/smoking)
- you suffer from sensitive throats or bad breath
- you have crowns, bridges, implants or braces (requiring more careful maintenance)
- you want to set up proper home hygiene and interdental aids
How dental hygiene works
1) Assessment of the situation
We will assess the gums, amount of plaque/ calculus and sensitive areas. Depending on the findings, we will explain the procedure.
2) Thorough cleaning
We remove tartar and biofilm and clean hard-to-reach areas. We treat pigmentation with modern procedures including AirFlow (as indicated).
3) Home care recommendations
We will demonstrate the cleaning technique, recommend interdental aids and set the appropriate interval for further hygiene.
Comfort and anaesthesia
Hygiene should be manageable even for sensitive patients. If necessary, local anaesthesia can be used – especially in cases of severe sensitivity, exposed necks or gingivitis. Everything is handled individually according to the findings and your comfort.
Price and what influences it
The price depends mainly on:
- amount of tartar and pigmentation
- sensitivity and condition of the gums
- the time required for a thorough cleaning
- the scope of the briefing and the setup of the aids

Frequently Asked Questions
Does dental hygiene hurt?
Most patients manage it well. If there are sensitive areas, we will adjust the procedure and local anaesthesia may be used if necessary.
How often should I go to the hygiene?
The interval is individual. Often 2 times a year, more often in case of rapid tartar formation or gum problems.
Does hygiene also remove coffee/tea stains?
Often, yes. Pigmentation and biofilm can usually be cleaned well, sometimes using AirFlow as indicated.
Can hygiene help with bleeding gums?
Often yes, if the cause is plaque/ calculus and gingivitis. This includes the home care setting.
What if I have sensitive teeth?
We’ll adjust the procedure. For sensitive areas, local anaesthesia may be considered according to the findings.
Can a problem show up during hygiene that needs a doctor?
Yes. The advantage is that we have a doctor on site, so any findings can be dealt with without delay.
Make an appointment for dental hygiene
At the first visit we will assess the condition of the gums and teeth, perform a thorough cleaning and recommend home care (toothbrush, interdental aids). Depending on the findings, we will suggest an appropriate interval for further visits.
