Oral Hygiene

The Oral Hygiene specialty aims at the prevention and diagnosis of diseases of the oral cavity.

It is essential to have good oral hygiene because this brings consequences both at oral level by avoiding the appearance of caries, bad breath, decreased self-esteem, gum disease and at systemic level.

Nowadays it is known that poor oral hygiene can increase the risk of heart problems or increase the risk of problems during pregnancy.

The treatment consists of eliminating food residues so that they are not deposited and fixed to the teeth and gums, forming bacterial plaque and tartar (commonly known as "stone").
