Professional teeth cleaning (oral hygiene) helps you avoid gum problems and experience a pleasant feeling of freshness after each treatment. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Prevention instead of drilling<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Especially in dentistry, many <strong>diseases can be avoided<\/strong> or detected before they lead to more serious problems<\/li>\n<li>Unfortunately, regular brushing is not enough to prevent <strong>tooth decay<\/strong> and <strong>periodontitis<\/strong> (gum disease). Therefore, we offer professional teeth cleaning as a supplement to your home oral hygiene. <\/li>\n<li>Stubborn bacterial <strong>plaque<\/strong> 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. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>The procedure of a professional teeth cleaning<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Hard<\/strong>, bacterial deposits, tartar, and discoloration from food, coffee, tea, or smoking are removed by us using ultrasound and special instruments. The bacterial biofilm is &#8220;torn apart&#8221; and your immune system is relieved. <\/li>\n<li>After removing the hard deposits, it is the turn of the <strong>soft<\/strong> 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.  <\/li>\n<li>Your teeth are then <strong>fluoridated<\/strong>. This remineralizes the tooth enamel and protects it against acid attacks. <\/li>\n<li>Finally, we will be happy to advise you in detail on how to optimize your <strong>dental care habits<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;3728&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1455053321580{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Links<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oegp.at\/\"><i class=\"fa fa-share\"><\/i> Austrian Society for Periodontology<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;3685&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1489661719715{margin-top: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;3728&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1455052934443{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Frequently asked questions<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner]    \t \n    <div class=\"envor-qa\">\n\t    <div class=\"q\">\n\t      <span class=\"lbl\">F :<\/span>\n\t      <p>Wie lange dauert ein Mundhygiene-Termin?<\/p>\n\t      <div class=\"arrow\"><\/div>\n\t    <\/div>\n\t    <div class=\"a\">\n\t      <span class=\"lbl\">A :<\/span>\n\t      <p>Abh\u00e4ngig von individuellen Faktoren (Zahnstein, Grad der Ablagerungen\/Verf\u00e4rbungen, Zahnversorgungen,...) ca. 20 min - 1 1\/2 Stunden<\/p>\n\t      <div class=\"arrow\"><\/div>\n\t    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    \t \n    <div class=\"envor-qa\">\n\t    <div class=\"q\">\n\t      <span class=\"lbl\">F :<\/span>\n\t      <p>Wie oft soll ich zur Mundhygiene gehen?<\/p>\n\t      <div class=\"arrow\"><\/div>\n\t    <\/div>\n\t    <div class=\"a\">\n\t      <span class=\"lbl\">A :<\/span>\n\t      <p><\/p>\n<p>Abh\u00e4ngig von individuellen Faktoren. 1 - 4x \/ Jahr.<br \/>\nH\u00e4ufig f\u00fchrt die Entfernung von Bel\u00e4gen und Verf\u00e4rbungen (z.B.
