A healthy mouth starts with simple gestures
We often talk about cavities or pain… but did you know that regular scaling is one of the best ways to prevent these problems?
It’s an essential step towards keeping your teeth healthy and your smile bright… and avoiding many treatments in the future.
At our dental practice in Montreux, we offer you a gentle, personalized approach to dental hygiene, for both prevention and maintenance.
Why descaling is essential
Even with good brushing, tartar eventually sets in. It forms when plaque is mineralized, and can no longer be removed with a toothbrush.
The problem?
Tartar promotes :
- Gum inflammation (gingivitis)
- Bleeding when brushing
Tooth loosening (periodontitis) - Bad breath
- And in the long term, tooth loss
Professional scaling removes tartar without damaging your teeth.
Gentle, professional care
Hygiene care is provided by Clara Frias, a dental assistant specializing in prophylaxis.
His expertise and kindness will ensure you have a serene moment, even if you’re a little anxious at the thought of consulting him.
How a scaling procedure works:
- Quick examination of teeth and gums
- Tartar removal (ultrasound and manual instruments)
- Teeth polished to smooth the surface
- Personalized home hygiene advice
Each treatment is adapted to your sensitivity and situation: frequency, brushing technique, type of floss… Nothing is left to chance.
How often should I have my teeth scaled?
For most patients, scaling every 6 to 12 months is recommended.
But this depends on a number of factors: your diet, hygiene habits, the presence of dentures or braces, and your predisposition to tartar.
We tailor our recommendations to your mouth, not to a general rule.
And what about the kids?
A good reflex to adopt early on, to give them a healthy mouth right from the start.
Scaling and dental hygiene fees
Our hygiene treatments are carried out at SSO rates, and the cost depends on the time required.
Before each session, we can give you a quote if you wish.
Good to know: some insurance companies may partially reimburse prophylactic care.
