What professional dental hygiene involves
Even with diligent brushing and flossing at home, plaque and tartar build up in areas that are hard to reach — particularly below the gumline and between teeth. Professional cleaning removes this build-up before it causes gum disease, decay, or bad breath.
At Studio Marcato, each hygiene session includes a full assessment of your gum health, supragingival and subgingival scaling (tartar removal), polishing to remove surface stains, and personalised advice on your home routine.
What we do in a session
- Gum health assessment — we check for bleeding, pocketing, and early signs of periodontitis
- Ultrasonic scaling — removes hard tartar deposits above and below the gumline
- Hand scaling — precision finishing in tighter areas
- Air-polishing — blasts away biofilm and surface stains without abrasion
- Fluoride varnish — optional treatment to strengthen enamel and reduce sensitivity
- Home care advice — brush technique, interdental care, mouthwash recommendations tailored to your situation
Why regular hygiene matters
Gum disease (periodontitis) is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. It is largely preventable with regular professional cleaning and good home care. Early gum disease (gingivitis) is reversible — but left untreated, it causes irreversible bone loss around the teeth. Catching it early saves teeth and money.
Regular hygiene also significantly reduces the risk of cavities, keeps breath fresh, and helps us spot early signs of decay or other problems before they become costly to treat.
