Dental Hygienist in Malmö
Preventive care is the foundation of good oral health. Our experienced hygienist helps you keep your smile bright and healthy.
Our dental hygienist focuses entirely on preventive care to protect you against the two most common oral diseases: tooth decay (caries) and gum disease (periodontitis). Regular hygienist visits are one of the most important investments you can make for your long-term health.
A session with our hygienist involves: a detailed examination of your gums and periodontal pockets, professional removal of tartar and bacterial biofilm from all tooth surfaces, polishing with abrasive paste, fluoride treatment, and an oral health screening.
On top of the cleaning, you'll receive a personalised home-care programme — including advice on the correct brushing and interdental cleaning technique, and recommendations on which specific products (toothpaste, dental floss, interdental brushes, mouthwash) best suit your individual mouth. Visits are typically recommended every 6–18 months depending on individual risk.
FAQ: Dental Hygienist
For most patients it feels like a slight scraping and vibration. If you have sensitive or inflamed gums, we apply a topical numbing gel to eliminate discomfort.
Brush with fluoride toothpaste twice daily and use dental floss or interdental brushes every day. Regular professional cleaning by the hygienist removes what home care misses.
Periodontitis is a serious bacterial infection of the supporting structures of the teeth (bone and gum). Left untreated it can lead to tooth loss. Early hygienist treatment is crucial.
A standard session takes 45–60 minutes. If you have significant tartar or inflamed gums, treatment may be split into two sessions for comfort.
Absolutely! Preventive care and good oral hygiene habits are best established early. We offer hygienist appointments tailored for children and teenagers.
