Preventive care
The best treatment is the one we manage to avoid in time. Prevention at SVEDENT in Sofia helps detect small problems before they become serious, preserves the results of completed treatment and keeps teeth and gums healthy — with a plan tailored to your individual risk.
What does preventive care include?
Prophylaxis at SVEDENT is personalised and typically includes:
- a preventive examination and early diagnosis
- professional removal of tartar and plaque
- individual recommendations for home hygiene
- periodontal maintenance for patients at risk
- an appropriate interval for your next check-up
Small habits make a big difference
We coach you on technique and tools — toothbrush, floss, interdental brushes — so prevention continues at home, not just in the clinic. Regular check-ups bring peace of mind: you know what is happening with your smile and have a plan for keeping it healthy.
Frequently asked questions
How often should I have a dental check-up?
For most patients every 6 months. If you have higher risk of decay or gum disease, we may recommend a shorter interval — it is set individually.
Does professional cleaning damage the enamel?
No. Professional cleaning removes tartar and plaque that brushing cannot, using instruments that are safe for enamel. Teeth often feel smoother and look brighter afterwards.
What does a professional cleaning include?
Removal of tartar and plaque above and below the gum line, polishing, and personal advice on home care — adapted to your teeth, gums and habits.
Does prevention really save money?
Yes. Small problems found early mean smaller, simpler and less expensive treatments — and fewer surprises. Prevention is the cheapest dentistry there is.
