Hussein Haj – Licensed Dental Hygienist in Stockholm

Hussein Haj is a licensed dental hygienist at Gloss & Floss Dental Care® in Södermalm, Stockholm. Known as Hosse at the clinic, he works with preventive dental care, professional teeth cleaning, tartar removal, AirFlow treatment, gum-health support and personalised oral-hygiene guidance.

Hussein was educated at Karolinska Institutet and has a calm, thorough and patient-centred clinical approach. His objective is to help patients understand their oral health, reduce relevant risk factors and establish realistic home-care routines that can be maintained over time.

For many patients, a dental hygienist appointment is not only about cleaning the teeth. It is also an opportunity to understand why plaque, tartar, bleeding gums or surface staining may continue to return and what can be done to reduce these problems.

Preventive dental hygienist care

At Gloss & Floss, Hussein provides dental hygienist treatments designed to support healthy teeth and gums over time. Depending on the patient’s individual needs, treatment may include professional cleaning, gum assessment, oral-hygiene instruction, risk-based advice and follow-up planning.

Preventive care is important because gum problems may develop gradually without causing clear symptoms at an early stage. The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research explains that periodontal disease affects the tissues supporting the teeth and is commonly associated with plaque that hardens into tartar.

Regular professional care, combined with effective daily oral-hygiene routines, can support long-term gum health and help identify changes before they become more advanced.

AirFlow treatment and professional teeth cleaning

Hussein works with treatments such as AirFlow treatment, which can help remove soft biofilm, plaque and external surface stains.

AirFlow may be particularly useful for patients with coffee, tea or tobacco staining, fixed retainers, implants, crowns, bridges or areas that are difficult to clean effectively with normal brushing alone.

The suitability of AirFlow is assessed individually based on the patient’s oral-health status and treatment needs.

Tartar removal and gum-health support

When hardened deposits are present, professional tartar removal may be required. Tartar cannot normally be removed through regular brushing at home.

If deposits remain around the gumline, they may contribute to inflammation, bleeding and more advanced gum problems. Patients with swollen, tender or bleeding gums may also receive care connected to inflamed gums treatment.

The treatment plan is adapted according to clinical findings, gum condition, oral-hygiene needs and relevant risk factors.

Personalised guidance for long-term oral health

Hussein’s clinical style is calm, gentle and communication-focused. He explains what he observes, why it matters and how the patient can improve daily routines between appointments.

Guidance may include brushing technique, interdental cleaning, fluoride use, stain control, management of gum bleeding, dry-mouth support and maintenance around dental restorations or implants.

Many patients benefit from regular preventive dental care rather than waiting until symptoms become more advanced. Hussein’s role at Gloss & Floss supports the clinic’s wider focus on prevention, long-term gum health and a calm patient experience in Stockholm.
