Recall

What does a dental hygiene treatment cost, and does the insurance cover any of it?

The costs depend on the effort and duration of the treatment. In Switzerland, dental hygiene is generally not covered by basic health insurance. However, with supplementary dental insurance, the costs are often fully or partially covered. We recommend checking the exact coverage directly with your health insurance provider.

How often should I come in for dental hygiene?

For most people, every 6 to 12 months is ideal. Depending on dental health, gum condition, or implants, a shorter interval may be advisable.

Does a dental hygiene treatment hurt?

The treatment is generally well tolerated. If you have sensitive teeth or inflamed gums, it may be briefly uncomfortable. We work very gently and tailor the treatment to your individual needs.

What is the difference between dental hygiene and prophylaxis?

Dental hygiene is a comprehensive, medically based treatment for cleaning and maintaining the health of teeth and gums. Prophylaxis is often used as a general term for preventive measures.

How long does a treatment take?

A session usually takes between 45 and 60 minutes. If there is increased need, the treatment may take longer.

Can I still come in if I have sensitive teeth?

Yes, absolutely. Sensitive teeth especially benefit from a professional and gentle cleaning. We tailor the treatment to your individual needs.

Does dental hygiene help with bleeding gums or bad breath?

Yes. Both issues are often caused by bacterial plaque. A thorough professional cleaning removes these, allowing the gums to heal and significantly reducing bad breath.

What exactly happens during a dental hygiene treatment?

We gently remove plaque and tartar, clean even hard to reach areas, and provide you with personalized tips for care at home. The goal is to keep your teeth healthy in the long term.
