What are the consequences of poor oral hygiene?

Good oral hygiene is essential for healthy teeth and gums. If plaque and tartar are not removed regularly, various oral problems can develop. Many complaints start innocently but can become increasingly serious without treatment.

One of the first signs of poor oral health is bleeding gums while brushing or flossing. This is often caused by a buildup of plaque along the gum line. When bacteria accumulate, the gums can become inflamed. This is also known as gingivitis.

Dental plaque is a soft layer of bacteria that forms on teeth daily. If plaque is not properly removed, it can harden into tartar. Tartar is difficult to brush away yourself and can lead to further irritation of the gums. A professional dental cleaning by a dental hygienist helps to remove tartar safely and effectively.

If gum inflammation is not treated, the inflammation can spread to the underlying jawbone. In that case, we speak of periodontitis This condition can lead to receding gums, loose teeth, and ultimately even tooth loss.

Regular check-ups and professional oral care help to detect and prevent problems early. Our dental hygienists in Amsterdam South support you in keeping your teeth healthy by removing plaque and tartar, checking your oral health, and providing personalized advice for the daily care of your teeth and gums.

Why good oral hygiene is essential for your health

Good oral hygiene is not only important for your oral health, but also for your overall health. For example, did you know that poor oral hygiene increases the risk of diseases? Poor oral hygiene can lead to gum disease, giving bacteria free rein. These bacteria, for example, play a role in the development of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

In short, there are plenty of reasons to visit the dental hygienist. We recommend that you come by at least twice a year for a preventive check. This way you do not give bacteria a chance to develop and cause and/or worsen oral problems. Make an appointment with one of our dental hygienists in Amsterdam South. You are welcome.

Sabine Leijten works as a dental hygienist at Apollo Dental Practice in Amsterdam South. She would like to introduce herself to you.

I am Sabine Leijten, born and raised in Brabant and 2013 is the year that I graduated as a dental hygienist at the Arnhem and Nijmegen University of Applied Sciences. Later that year I moved to the big city and worked full-time in Amsterdam. Since July 2022 I have been part of the great team at Apollo Dental Practice!

Together with my colleagues, I hope to help people improve their teeth and keep them healthy. You can always contact me for advice on how to maintain your oral health.

The days I am present are Tuesday and Thursday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM.

Robin Joziasse works as a dental hygienist at Apollo Dental Practice in Amsterdam South. She would like to introduce herself to you.

With a lot of passion and dedication, I have been working as a dental hygienist for almost 9 years and I can proudly say that my love for this profession has only grown over time. The best aspect of my work is the direct impact I can have on the well-being of patients. Every day I see people come in with various oral health problems and it is my job to help them have a healthy mouth. It is satisfying when I see that my care and advice brings about positive changes.

I think it is important to treat attentively and accurately. By listening carefully, calmness and my extensive experience, I build a bond of trust with the patient and this makes the work extra special for me.

I work according to guided biofilm therapy: “This method uses low-abrasive powder in an air polisher to first remove the plaque and deposits. It is an efficient approach to minimize wear of dentin and restorations.”

Tips from our dental hygienist in Amsterdam South

Would you like to know what you can do yourself to improve your oral health? Below you can read some tips from our dental hygienist. Would you like more tips or do you have a question? Please feel free Contact with us. We like to help you.

Brush your teeth twice a day, morning and evening, for at least two minutes.

Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a fluoride toothpaste to effectively remove plaque.

Be sure to brush all tooth surfaces, including the inside, outside, and chewing surfaces of your teeth.

Don't forget to brush your tongue too, as bacteria can build up there and cause bad breath.

Do not rinse your mouth with water after brushing, but spit out the excess toothpaste. This helps the fluoride stay on your teeth longer and make them stronger.

Use dental floss daily to remove food particles and plaque stuck between your teeth.

Gently move the floss between your teeth and use a sawing motion to loosen the plaque.

Avoid flossing too hard to avoid damaging the gums.

If you have difficulty flossing, consider using toothpicks which may be easier to handle.

Limit the consumption of acidic drinks such as soda and sports drinks, which can damage tooth enamel.

If you want to drink acidic drinks, drink them through a straw to reduce contact with your teeth.

Rinse your mouth with water after consuming acidic foods to neutralize acidity and protect tooth enamel.

Schedule periodic professional dental cleanings

Schedule regular professional dental cleaning appointments with our dental hygienist, ideally at least twice a year.

During the appointment, our dental hygienist will thoroughly remove plaque and tartar, even in hard-to-reach places.

In addition, our dental hygienist will check your mouth for signs of gum disease, tooth decay, and other mouth-related problems.

Professional cleaning not only helps maintain healthy teeth, but can also detect and treat dental problems at an early stage.
