In order to look after your teeth as well as possible, we advise regular visits to a dental hygienist. In our modern practices in the Moergestelseweg&nbsp;in Oisterwijk, you can make an appointment with a dental hygienist. A referral from a dentist isn\u2019t required. <a href=../../../../../../_https_/lassustandartsen.nl/oisterwijk/en/contact/_>Make an appointment<\/a>.&nbsp;Call&nbsp;<a href=../../../../../../_tel_013.html 52 10 660\">013 52 10 660<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-preventative-care\">Preventative care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Preventing problems with your teeth is one of the most important tasks of our dentists, dental hygienists and prevention assistants. Nearly all dental problems can be prevented with the help of <a href=../../../../../../_https_/lassustandartsen.nl/oisterwijk/en/education/how-to-prevent-tooth-decay/_>good dental hygiene.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To prevent dental problems and keep your teeth as clean as possible, we advise that you have a twice-yearly combined appointment with a dentist and an oral hygienist. The Dentists will check if there are any problems with your teeth, and the dental hygienist will clean your teeth and gums. After the cleaning, our dental hygienists will advise on how to best look after your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A significant advantage of Lassus is that we offer everything under one roof: Dental hygienists, orthodontists, and of course, dentists. My children also now go to Lassus, and even though I believe they won\u2019t leave Oisterwijk in the coming years, even if they move somewhere else, I hope they\u2019ll continue to visit Lassus from their new place of residence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-should-i-visit-a-dental-hygienist\">When should I visit a dental hygienist?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you have any of the following complaints, it\u2019s advisable to&nbsp;<a href=../../../../../../_https_/lassustandartsen.nl/contact/_>make an appointment<\/a>&nbsp;with one of our dental hygienists:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Loose teeth or molars<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bleeding gums during teeth brushing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Swollen and red gums<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Recurring problems with tartar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bad breath<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Receding Gums<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Regular occurrences of cavities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-differences-between-a-dental-hygienist-and-a-prevention-assistant\">The differences between a dental hygienist and a prevention assistant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In our practices, you\u2019ll meet dental hygienists and prevention assistants, but what are the differences between the two? A Dental hygienist holds an HBO degree and is continuously tested on the latest quality standards. A dental hygienist focuses on preventing things such as gum problems and cavities. Alongside this, the dental hygienist can also treat gum infections such as periodontitis and gingivitis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where the work of the dental hygienist begins, stops in principle the work of the prevention assistant. A prevention assistant gives advice on the prevention of cavities and gum diseases. Alongside this, the prevention assistant deals with the treatment of simple complaints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-treatment\">The treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you undergo any treatment, a PPS measurement is performed. This works as follows; Our dental hygienists give your gums a score between 1 and 3. From the basis of these scores, we define your treatment plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th><strong>PPS<\/strong> <\/th><th> <strong>Description<\/strong> <\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>1<\/td><td>Er zijn pockets tot en met 3 mm. en het tandvlees is voldoende gezond. Met instructies en behandelingen wordt gestreefd om dit te behouden.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2<\/td><td>Bij deze score zijn er pockets tot en met 5 mm en bevindt de gezondheid van uw tandvlees zich op een kantelpunt. Er is waarschijnlijk al sprake van botafbraak. Aanvullende mondhygi\u00ebne behandelingen zijn noodzakelijk om pockets te verminderen. Het is mogelijk dat er direct aanvullend onderzoek gedaan moet worden door middel van een parodontiumstatus en een intensief parotraject te starten.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3<\/td><td>Met PPS 3 zijn er pockets van 6 mm of dieper gesignaleerd. Ook is er sprake van botverlies rondom \u00e9\u00e9n of meerdere tanden of kiezen. Hierdoor is het meestal noodzakelijk om uitgebreider onderzoek te doen en een intensief parotraject te starten.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cExplanation of the terms gingivitis and periodontitis<br>If, as a result of dental plaque, an infection exists on the edge of the gums, then it\u2019s a case of gingivitis. If the infection spreads close to the jawbone, then the term for this is periodontitis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-overview-of-treatment\">Overview of treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our dental hygienists carry out the following treatments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Cleaning of root surfaces under the gums<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Removal of tartar, plaque and infections<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The placing of sealants<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Polishing and fillings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The smoothing over of root surfaces<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The placing of fluoride<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Advice and explanations about cavities and gum problems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reimbursement-from-your-health-insurance-provider\">Reimbursement from your health insurance provider<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The costs of dental hygiene treatment are not covered by basic health insurance. In the event that you have additional insurance for dental treatment, then in most cases, the costs are reimbursed. If in doubt, double check the terms of your additional health insurance policy or contact your insurance provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The costs for children younger than 18 years old are covered by basic insurance. For children younger than 18, opening an additional health insurance policy is not necessary.
