Professional hygiene for children

The patient came in for a preventive check-up. During the clinical examination, a significant amount of soft dental plaque and pigmented deposits were found on the tooth surfaces, especially in the area of the lower front teeth.

A plaque indicator was used to visualize dental plaque, which made it possible to clearly identify the areas where bacterial deposits accumulate.

Comprehensive professional hygiene was performed, which included:

• removal of soft dental plaque
• cleaning of pigmented deposits
• polishing of tooth surfaces
• recommendations for individual oral hygiene

The teenager came in for a preventive check-up.

The parents noticed yellowish plaque near the gum line and slight gum bleeding while brushing.

The examination revealed:

• accumulation of soft plaque in the gumline zone
• pigmented deposits
• initial signs of gingivitis (gum redness)

In adolescence, due to hormonal changes, the gums react more actively, and plaque accumulates faster — even with regular home brushing.

The patient came in with complaints of bleeding gums while brushing, gum swelling and redness, and bad breath.

The clinical examination revealed significant dental deposits (supra- and subgingival) and gum inflammation.

Periodontal probing was performed:

• periodontal pockets were detected;
• bleeding on probing;
• signs of attachment loss.
