The ultimate key to healthy teeth

Service Efficiency

Keep your teeth clean and healthy by visiting a hygienist at least twice a year.

Unfortunately, a 2021 study showed that 41% of people in Latvia have never seen a hygienist, and 74% hadn’t been in the last year, often seeing it as an unnecessary luxury.

We want to change that mindset—it’s absolutely essential for everyone! It’s always smarter to spend a little on prevention now than a fortune on complex treatments later.

What to expect

1. The hygienist learns about your experience and habits.

First, our hygienist will find out about your dental history and look at your current daily brushing routine.

2. A procedure tailored specifically to your needs

At our clinic, all hygienists use the very latest Swiss-made EMS AIRFLOW MASTER. This clever bit of tech automatically tweaks the pressure and ultrasonic power, using a gentle, totally painless glycine powder to clear away plaque, staining, and tartar.

This technology ensures that neither the tooth enamel nor the soft tissues are damaged, as can sometimes happen with standard dental hygiene methods, where the results often depend on the specialist’s professionalism and experience.

3. Netflix & Chill

While we work on your teeth, you can just pop on some tunes or catch up on your favourite Netflix show on our ceiling-mounted TVs.

4. Fluoride gel treatment for your teeth

At the end of the procedure, we treat your teeth to a premium 5000ppm fluoride gel. This hardens your enamel, offers extra protection, and neutralises harmful mouth acids.

5. Oral care recommendations

We’ll handpick and recommend the absolute best toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, and mouthwash tailored to your mouth.

6. If the hygienist detects dental problems

If our hygienist notices any early signs of decay or damage, they’ll let you know straight away so we can get you booked in with a dentist.

Dental hygiene appointment
What is a dental hygienist and what do they do?

A dental hygienist is a specialist who provides professional dental hygiene treatment.


Dental hygiene is a preventive dental procedure that plays a key role in maintaining good dental and gum health.


During a dental hygiene procedure, all hard-to-reach parts of the oral cavity are cleaned with special instruments and medical products, eliminating harmful plaque bacteria and tartar, which are the main factors causing dental and gum problems.


After the procedure, teeth become cleaner and visibly brighter. If plaque and tartar are not removed, your risk of cavities increases, you may develop bad breath, and gum disease or other oral health problems may occur.


Likewise, a hygienist can examine all hard-to-reach areas and assess whether damage has begun. The sooner dental issues are detected, the sooner the situation can be corrected, avoiding further decay, pain, high expenses or even tooth loss.

Are dental hygiene procedures really painless?

Absolutely! The hygienist will only clean your teeth and gums and will always check if you have sensitive teeth and apply an anaesthetic gel if necessary.

Why is it necessary to visit a hygienist once every six months?

Oral health depends on a daily oral care routine, but no matter how diligently we brush our teeth, it is impossible to completely remove all tartar and plaque at home.

Therefore, an appointment with a professional hygienist is recommended at least once every six months for a thorough cleaning, including access to hard-to-reach areas.


Why is this so important?


  • Long-term dental and oral health — destroys bacteria and unwanted microorganisms that damage tooth enamel.
  • It can prevent bad breath — proper cleaning removes food particles and bacteria that produce harmful acids.
  • It can remove tartar, plaque and pigment stains — and your teeth will become lighter. After hygiene, it is guaranteed that teeth can become half a shade to one shade lighter.
  • It improves overall health — destroying bacteria that accumulate in gum pockets reduces the possibility that they could go deeper into the body and impact your health.


If you often drink coffee, tea, red wine or smoke and sometimes forget to brush your teeth, then in some cases we recommend visiting a hygienist even once every 3 months. But of course, each case is individual.

Are there any grounds for concern if my gums bleed when I brush my teeth?

This is the first sign that you have gingivitis, so it is advisable to visit a dental hygienist.


Gingivitis occurs when there is too much plaque on the tooth or tartar has formed, which irritates the gums.


If your gums continue to bleed even after visiting the dental hygienist, then you may have another condition.

Does an appointment with a hygienist protect you against tooth decay?

Professional dental hygiene procedures (tooth polishing, fluoride application) prevent dental diseases, provided that the patient also takes care of their dental health on a daily basis.


By properly removing tartar and plaque and polishing the teeth, the dental hygienist can easily detect all hard-to-reach areas and assess whether damage has begun.


The sooner it is detected, the sooner the situation can be corrected, avoiding further decay, pain, high expenses or even tooth loss. In our clinic, we also offer fluoride gel applications (and also varnish coatings, for a separate fee), which additionally strengthen and protect teeth on a daily basis.

What is dental plaque and how is tartar formed?
  • Soft dental plaque is the main cause of tooth decay and gum disease.
  • Plaque contains millions of bacteria, because the oral cavity is an ideal environment for them to multiply (warmth, moisture).
  • Sugar in food reacts with bacteria, forming acids that are destructive to tooth tissue and gums.
  • If plaque is not removed for a long time, it begins to mineralize and tartar forms.
  • As a result, the gums gradually recede, gum pockets form and teeth may begin to loosen.
About the procedure

About teeth whitening...
If I'm interested in teeth whitening, is this procedure suitable for me?

First, we invite you to a consultation with our dental hygienist.


The specialist will assess the health of your oral cavity, because teeth whitening can only be performed on healthy teeth and healthy gums, and the teeth must be free of plaque and tartar, so two weeks before the teeth whitening procedure, you will also need to undergo a professional oral hygiene procedure.

At LAVA dental studio, we use FLASH teeth whitening equipment, which can make teeth several shades lighter.


When applying for hygiene, be sure to ask the specialist about the possibilities of teeth whitening, because it is the hygienist who is the specialist who deals with professional, safe and proven teeth whitening.

How much does teeth whitening cost at LAVA dental studio?

We use FLASH teeth whitening equipment, which is guaranteed to make your teeth several shades lighter.


The path to a whiter smile should begin with a consultation on whitening with a photo protocol — €40


Professional teeth whitening FLASH — €400
