A dental hygiene session involves professional cleaning and examination of your teeth and gums to maintain oral health. In Sweden, this is usually done by a licensed dental hygienist or nurse, in conjunction with a dentist. This session may include removing stains and calculus build-up, polishing the teeth, providing advice on oral care, and applying fluoride treatment.
Sweden's healthcare system is universal and publicly funded. Dental care is included but may require a co-payment. Preventative appointments are recommended twice yearly.
