Dental hygienist: what to know
A dental hygienist is a health professional specialising in preventing and treating gum disease. They remove tartar, polish teeth and check gum health, and advise you on the oral hygiene routine best suited to your everyday life.
When to book an appointment
- Regular scaling and professional cleaning of your teeth
- Gums that bleed when brushing or look inflamed
- Persistent bad breath or visible tartar build-up
- Brushing and hygiene advice when wearing braces
Costs in Switzerland
Dental hygienist appointments are generally not covered by basic health insurance (LAMal/KVG); supplementary dental insurance may cover part of the cost.
