What is oral sanitation and its role?
Oral sanitation is a set of dental procedures aimed at complete elimination of infection, treatment of tooth decay, gum inflammation, as well as tartar removal and hygienic cleaning.
The main goal of oral health care is to restore oral health before important medical interventions in order to eliminate the risk of complications and maintain the overall health of the body.
Why the oral cavity needs to be sanitized before different medical procedures:
- When applying for a new job. Some professions (food, medical, military) require mandatory confirmation of dental health.
- When entering an educational institution. Dental sanitation in children and adolescents is included in the list of mandatory medical procedures when enrolling in school, college or kindergarten to prevent foci of chronic infection.
Indications and contraindications for sanitation of the oral cavity
Sanitation is performed on both children and adults to maintain oral health and hygiene, general health and prevention of complications, especially before important medical procedures.
A certificate of oral sanitation is needed in cases such as:
- pregnancy planning and preparation for childbirth;
- childhood age (especially before vaccination or surgical treatment);
- preparation for surgery;
- before orthodontic treatment (braces, plates);
- before chemotherapy or radiation therapy;
- working in harmful industries or military service;
- frequent inflammation of the oral mucosa, gums, bad odor – treatment of diseases causing these symptoms is required;
- preparation for dentures or implants.
Contraindications to oral cavity sanitation:
- Acute infectious diseases (flu, sore throat, COVID-19, etc.);
- elevated body temperature, general malaise;
- uncontrolled arterial hypertension;
- exacerbation of chronic heart and vascular diseases;
- allergic reaction to anesthetics (temporary restriction until an alternative is selected).
Before carrying out hygienic and therapeutic measures, the dentist necessarily takes into account the general condition of the patient and excludes restrictions, so that the procedure is effective and safe.
What does a full mouth sanitation include?
Sanitation is not a single manipulation, but a whole complex of procedures aimed at improving the oral cavity. It is carried out taking into account the individual condition of the teeth, gums and mucous membranes.
The main stages of sanitation in the dental clinic:
- Comprehensive diagnostic examination – before sanitation, the dentist conducts an oral cavity examination to identify possible signs of pathologies, assesses the condition of tooth enamel.
- Removal of dental deposits – ultrasonic cleaning, plaque and calculus removal is performed.
- Treatment of caries and its complications – if possible, the doctor restores destroyed teeth, prescribes treatment of pulpitis, periodontitis.

- Therapy of gum and periodontal diseases – elimination of inflammation, strengthening of tissues.
- Removal of failing teeth, including wisdom teeth that are misaligned or pose a health risk.
Sanitation allows not only to eliminate current problems, but also to prepare the oral cavity for further treatment or medical intervention.
Oral sanitation during pregnancy is especially important, as infections can negatively affect the health of the future mother and fetus. The optimal time to perform it is the second trimester. Procedures are selected sparingly, with safe materials and only in the absence of contraindications.
