Dental hygiene & preventive care in Pfäffikon SZ.
Professional dental hygiene efficiently helps prevent dental diseases.
Prevention & dental hygiene
Most dental diseases are caused by bacterial plaque, which is often difficult to remove from hard-to-reach areas. This is where professional dental cleaning comes into play. Our dental hygienists in Pfäffikon SZ / Freienbach not only show you which oral care products are suitable for you but also teach you the correct brushing technique for daily oral hygiene. Professional dental hygiene not only ensures healthy teeth and gums but also provides a radiant smile. Even after successful dental treatments such as fillings, crowns, bridges, or implants, thorough care can extend their longevity. If there is severe inflammation of the gums and tooth sockets (periodontitis), we conduct appropriate periodontal treatment. This includes taking samples of gum pocket secretions for bacterial genetic analysis to determine the appropriate medication therapy against the causative bacteria. In addition, a deep mechanical cleaning of the gum pockets is performed using special instruments. Within this framework, we can also analyze saliva parameters to determine the risk of cavities. This allows early countermeasures to be taken to prevent potential future tooth decay. If your teeth have particularly deep fissures, we can also seal them to reduce the susceptibility to cavities.
At H1 Dentists, dental hygiene is placed at the forefront of dental health. Professional teeth cleaning forms the basis of lifelong vitality for teeth and gums.

FAQs on dental hygiene
How long does a dental hygiene treatment take?
Depending on the condition of the teeth and any complaints, approximately between 40-60 minutes.
Which toothbrush and toothpaste are recommended?
The toothbrush should have a short brush head with soft, rounded bristles. Toothpaste ideally also contains fluoride, as it protects against cavities. Avoid whitening toothpaste, as such products can cause high abrasion and damage to the teeth.
Is fluoride gel useful?
It is recommended to use fluoride gel once a week. Fluoride revitalizes tooth enamel, treats sensitive tooth necks, and prevents cavities. Application: Apply the gel to the teeth before bedtime with a cotton swab or fingers, let it sit briefly, and then spit it out.
What does a tongue cleaner do?
A tongue cleaner is ideal for removing tongue coating. This reduces the bacterial concentration in the oral cavity, reduces bad breath, and exposes taste receptors better. Application: Lightly brush the tongue in the morning and evening. Use the tongue cleaner to remove loosened coatings. Repeat the process if necessary. Replace the tongue cleaner every two months.
