Oral hygiene – Professional teeth cleaning – Periodontitis therapy
Why is prophylaxis so important?
Healthy and beautiful teeth require regular “service“. Professional teeth cleaning (oral hygiene) helps you avoid gum problems and experience a pleasant feeling of freshness after each treatment.
Prevention instead of drilling
- Especially in dentistry, many diseases can be avoided or detected before they lead to more serious problems
- Unfortunately, regular brushing is not enough to prevent tooth decay and periodontitis (gum disease). Therefore, we offer professional teeth cleaning as a supplement to your home oral hygiene.
- Stubborn bacterial plaque is usually found at the gum line or in gum pockets. In addition, food debris can get caught in the interdental spaces, which also cannot be effectively removed with a toothbrush.
The procedure of a professional teeth cleaning
- Hard, bacterial deposits, tartar, and discoloration from food, coffee, tea, or smoking are removed by us using ultrasound and special instruments. The bacterial biofilm is “torn apart” and your immune system is relieved.
- After removing the hard deposits, it is the turn of the soft deposits. These are removed with polishing brushes, strips, and fine instruments. Since deposits primarily accumulate on rough surfaces, the tooth surface is smoothed by the polishing paste.
- Your teeth are then fluoridated. This remineralizes the tooth enamel and protects it against acid attacks.
- Finally, we will be happy to advise you in detail on how to optimize your dental care habits.
