Dental Prophylaxis and Preventive Care in Bucharest

The cheapest dental treatment is the one you never need. Prophylaxis — professional cleaning and preventive care — keeps small problems from turning into big ones. Our partner clinics in Bucharest offer thorough cleanings, fluoride treatment and gum-disease prevention, and it’s the perfect way to combine a check-up with a few days in Romania.

What preventive care includes

Prophylaxis is the routine care that protects your teeth and gums before problems start:

• Scaling (professional cleaning). Removing the plaque and tartar that build up over time, even with good brushing. Tartar can only be removed with professional tools.
• Polishing. Smoothing the tooth surface and lifting surface stains from coffee, tea and smoking for a cleaner, brighter look.
• Fluoride treatment. Strengthening the enamel to resist decay.
• Periodontal prevention. Checking and caring for the gums to catch gum disease early, before it threatens the teeth that sit in them.
• Check-up and advice. A dentist looks for early signs of decay and gum disease, and recommends a home-care routine that fits you.

Left alone, plaque and tartar lead to gum disease, cavities and, eventually, tooth loss. Regular cleaning and a check-up every six months are the simplest way to avoid all three.

Who prophylaxis is for

Preventive care is for everyone, but it matters most if you:

• Haven’t had a professional cleaning in over six months
• Notice bleeding gums, bad breath or staining
• Smoke, or drink a lot of coffee, tea or red wine
• Have a history of gum problems or cavities
• Want to protect existing dental work — crowns, veneers or implants — for the long term

Healthy gums are also the foundation for any bigger treatment. A clean, stable mouth gives cosmetic and restorative work a better result.

Your visit: a check-up and a short break

Preventive care fits easily into a short trip, and it’s a good way to try Romania as a dental destination.

Before you travel. If you have a recent X-ray, send it over. It helps the dentist see the full picture before you arrive.

At the clinic. A cleaning and check-up is usually done in a single, comfortable appointment. We take our own digital imaging when needed — at up to 90% less radiation — so nothing is missed.

If we find something. A check-up sometimes turns up a cavity or early gum problem. If it does, we explain your options clearly, and we can often plan any further treatment into the same trip or a well-timed return.

Enjoy Romania. With most of your time free, we suggest cultural tours of Bucharest, day trips into the countryside, and authentic restaurants where you can enjoy traditional Romanian food.
