Dental hygiene

Dental hygiene is available and recommended for everyone. 

Dental hygiene with veneers and dentures

Professional dental hygiene is also possible if you have veneers and other dentures. It is recommended to maintain the health of your teeth and gums. However, it is important that the cleaning is done carefully so that the veneers or dentures are not damaged or loosened. Our dental professionals are specially trained to do this and are equipped with the appropriate instruments.

Dental hygiene with dental jewellery

You can also have your teeth professionally cleaned even with dental jewellery. However, please inform our dental staff at the beginning of the session.

Dental hygiene with previous illness

If you are unsure whether you should have a dental hygiene due to a previous illness, then book an Oral Health Checkup in advance. Our dental professionals will scan your oral cavity and can help you directly. Please fill in the questionnaire after booking your appointment and we will contact you if there are any risks.

Our experienced dental staff will check your oral health via an Oral Health Checkup. This is an integral part of dental hygiene treatment and is free of charge. The assessment is followed by your individual oral hygiene programme. Gentle AIRFLOW technology is used to remove microbial plaque from the tooth surface and clean interdental spaces. With the Piezon-no-pain method, tartar and stubborn discolouration don't stand a chance. Finally, your teeth are treated with a fluoride varnish to delay the formation of plaque and caries. If you would like to have your dental hygiene without ultrasound, this is no problem, just let us know before your appointment.

It is best not to consume any discolouring or acidic foods or drinks for 1-2 hours after your dental hygiene, this is the best way to maintain your bright smile. Our dental staff will advise you accordingly.

Make sure you clean your teeth regularly at home, this can help you prevent diseases of periodontium. Brushing and flossing will remove plaque and bacteria and keep your teeth and gums healthy.

Yes, it is safe, but there are certain times and conditions that should be considered. The ideal time for dental hygiene is in the 2nd trimester. Ideally, a dental hygiene treatment should be carried out before pregnancy. For treatment during pregnancy, you must provide us with a doctor's certificate.

Why is the 2nd trimester the best time for dental hygiene?

In the 2nd trimester, the organogenesis of the foetus is complete and the growth phase in the 3rd trimester has not yet begun. This makes it the ideal time for dental hygiene treatment.

What if I have gestational diabetes?

If you have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes, it is important that you first consult your doctor. An HbA1c value between 5.9 and 6.4% is generally considered safe for dental hygiene treatment. Please bring a medical certificate with you. Share this information with your dental hygienist prior to treatment to ensure that the best possible course of action is taken for you.

Are there any risks or side effects?

The risks are minimal if the treatment is carried out within the recommended time frame and any medical conditions, such as gestational diabetes, are taken into account.

Do I need to inform my dental hygienist about my pregnancy?

Yes, it is very important to inform your dental hygienist about your pregnancy and any associated medical conditions.

At ALPINE WHITE, we place great importance on making your dental hygiene as pleasant and pain-free as possible. Ideally, professional teeth cleaning should not cause any pain. However, there are factors such as open necks of teeth and inflammation that can be experienced as uncomfortable during treatment.

If you have any particular concerns or sensitivities, please share this with your dental hygienist in advance. We can then adjust the treatment accordingly and possibly take pain-relieving measures.

Our specialist dental hygienists are highly trained to provide you with effective treatment that is as pain-free as possible. Our goal is to improve your oral health profile while providing you with the highest level of comfort.

Yes, it is even advisable to have dental hygiene performed before teeth whitening. For this, we have our combination package. This way you get optimal dental health and beautiful teeth. We also offer home bleaching products in our shop.

A medical certificate is necessary to ensure that your dental hygiene can be carried out safely and effectively, taking into account your specific health conditions. It helps the dental hygiene team to minimise possible risks and to tailor the treatment to your needs.

A medical certificate is required for dental hygiene at ALPINE WHITE in the following cases:

• Bacterial endocarditis
• Congenital heart defects
• Surgically corrected heart and vascular diseases
• Coronary heart disease (angina pectoris, heart failure)
• Tuberculosis
• Chronic renal insufficiency, dialysis patients
• Kidney transplants
• diabetes
• Osteoporosis
• Severe liver disease
• Epilepsy
• Stroke
• Heart attack
• Immunosuppressed conditions (autoimmune diseases, organ transplants, joint prostheses, tumour diseases)
• Pregnancy
• Multi-medication client/polymorbid client

Please complete our health questionnaire before your treatment if you are asked to do so. The studio staff will then contact you if one of the above cases applies.

Regular check-ups and dental hygiene are important to maintaining healthy teeth and gums. If you don't clean your teeth regularly, bacteria can build up on your teeth, causing plaque to form. Over time, this plaque can lead to tooth decay by attacking the enamel and causing cavities in the teeth.

In addition, the bacteria in plaque can also affect the gums and cause gingivitis. If left untreated, these inflammations can lead to bleeding gums, receding gums and even tooth loss.

Dental hygiene can also help relieve bad breath. Bad breath is often caused by the bacterial decomposition of food debris in the oral cavity. If this food debris is not removed, it can lead to a build-up of bacteria that produce sulphur compounds, causing bad breath.

After dental hygiene, regular dental care, flossing and professional dental cleanings can remove food debris and bacteria, helping to reduce bad breath. Cleaning the tongue can also help, as bacteria that cause bad breath can also build up here.

We recommend that you have dental hygiene at least once a year. If you take extra good care of your teeth and want to achieve optimal frequency, consider having your teeth cleaned every 6 months. 

We work purely preventively, so all treatments are carried out exclusively by dental hygienists. If you suspect a dental problem, we will refer you to a dentist if you wish, who will be able to make a diagnosis on the basis of our findings and discuss further procedures with you if dental intervention is necessary.

You can easily book your appointment online. Visit our website and choose between dental hygiene, bleaching and oral health checkups. Our Studios are centrally located.

After your treatment, you will receive an insurance receipt for billing with your health insurance company. Whether and to what extent your insurance will cover the costs of the treatment is best clarified directly with your insurance company.
