It rests on us to educate and explain to the patient the importance of maintaining dental hygiene and healthy gums in order to achieve greater cosmetic results. It takes patience, clear setting of goals we want to achieve, proper motivation of the patient and much more. There are several techniques in prophylaxis and periodontological treatments which help to proceed with treatment protocol (while reducing discomfort for the patient) and achieve excellent cosmetic results. This webinar will focus on how air-polishing powders can improve dental hygiene treatment for both practitioners and patients, as well as enhance the overall efficiency of the dental chair.
