Oral hygiene with GBT protocol
(Guided Biofilm Therapy)
Escova os dentes, mas tem problemas na boca?
A cavity here, a tooth swaying there, you feel demoralized, because you don’t know where to start? You don’t have to know! For this, there is the Oral Hygiene consultation, which will accompany you and make your referral to the specialties you need.
O que é a consulta de Higiene Oral?
The oral hygiene consultation in our clinic lasts one hour, during which a detailed diagnosis of all existing oral conditions is made, such as dental and gingival problems, always with the help of X-ray. We spend time tracking oral and extra-oral lesions that may be manifestations of Oral Cancer. Next, we review points that can improve your daily oral hygiene and move on to de-startarisation, stain removal, tooth polishing, and finally, topical application of fluoride.
As each patient is treated individually, there may be a need for crack sealants (preventative treatment of cavities), root straightening (treatment of the gum), maintenance or monitoring of treatments you have performed, such as implants, crowns, bridges, prosthetics, restorations, etc.
If you need to undergo treatments, the Oral Hygienist refers you to the other dental medical specialties A Clínica Dr. Pedro Mota.
Since prevention is the best remedy, in our oral hygiene consultation, we are not satisfied with just a 10-minute “cleaning” to remove the “stone” from the teeth. Here we hear your needs and plan your treatment. The oral hygiene consultation is one of the most important consultations in the field of dental medicine, since its main objective: diagnosis, prevention and maintenance of treatments carried out in other specialties of dentistry.
What is the frequency of the oral hygiene consultation?
Regular visits to your oral hygienist should be done every 6 months, to closely examine the teeth and gums and detect early possible problems that may exist. However, this period can be adapted to the needs of each patient. Nowadays, it is known that poor oral health can increase the risk of cardiovascular problems, diabetes, stroke, Alzheimer’s or increase the risk of pregnancy issues. Regular oral hygiene consultations will help keep your teeth and gums healthy with a positive impact on the healthy control of these pathologies. Don’t forget that health starts in your mouth.
Even though I have care at home and being effective in your Daily brushing, using dental floss and toothpick, patients with implants must make regular maintenance of oral hygiene, in order to monitor the implants, the condition of the gum and bone, and adapt the brushing techniques and accessories to each situation. In this consultation, the fixed prosthesis on the implants is removed for better evaluation and hygiene.
It is a fundamental consultation and aims to support orthodontic treatment: before, during and after. Before, because it prepares the teeth and gums for the placement of the dental apparatus. During, because daily oral hygiene is more difficult, and the tips for brushing, wire, and brush have to be adapted to the device. Then, for the removal of stains caused by the use of a device and for teeth whitening.
Because we are all different, but we need equal care, we have a specialized team and able to meet the needs of each patient. This consultation is intended for all children and adults with pathologies, syndromes or disabilities that make it difficult to adhere to conventional treatment. The first consultation is done with a lot of sensitivity so that the patient feels at home and to the professional. Progress is made towards the best possible diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan. If there is no patient collaboration, conscious sedation can be a great help and make treatments possible.
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is an innovative procedure that uses cutting-edge technology to remove biofilm and stains effectively and minimally invasive. Currently the most innovative solution regarding oral hygiene practice.
In A Clínica Dr. Pedro Mota is like a ‘spa’ for the mouth: relaxing, comfortable and highly effective.

Whiter teeth?
One of the most sought after dental treatments in oral hygiene is tooth whitening.
There are many questions and prejudices from patients about the negative implications that whitening can have on teeth and gums. Nowadays, this is not an issue, as it is more than proven that it is a safe treatment and does not damage the dental structure.
In our clinic we use certified products, do not purchase “netizen” products that do not have the supervision of a qualified professional.
Only after the consultation of oral hygiene and check of healthy teeth and gums can you perform the whitening treatment.
In our clinic, we have two types of Teeth Whitening: Outpatient Whitening (done at home) and Phillips Zoom WhiteSpeed® Dental Whitening (Done in Office + HOMECARE KIT). Learn more about these two treatments.
