Solo prophylaxis is a dental care system that has been recommended by our clinic for 15 years and has been tested by both our specialists and clinic patients. This system helps to keep teeth healthy for a lifetime. We teach children aged 12 and older this method of care, and until then, their parents brush their teeth for them.

The essence of this system is to explain to the patient the mechanism of action of pathological bacteria and show them how to disrupt these mechanisms. This helps to prevent bacteria that are constantly present in the mouth from functioning and causing damage to teeth and surrounding tissues.

This system teaches patients to "hear" and understand what their mouth is "saying": when the oral cavity is healthy and when it is crying out for help. In addition, we teach patients to monitor the quality of the work performed by the dentist and to know how often professional oral hygiene should be performed.

All this information is presented to the patient through a visual photo presentation, which we show during the first visit. At that time, professional oral hygiene is performed, individually appropriate measures are selected, and the methodology is presented. Only then does treatment begin, the longevity of which will depend not only on the doctor's professionalism, but also on the patient's "homework."
