Prophylaxis / Preventive Care

Zahnprophylaxe

In our practice, professional dental cleaning is carried out by highly trained and experienced staff using ultrasound and/or hand instruments. The goal of these cleaning procedures is the most thorough possible removal of visible deposits such as tartar and plaque, as well as invisible ones – the so-called biofilm. The bacteria found in these deposits are the main cause of common dental diseases such as tooth decay (caries) and periodontitis. They also frequently lead to bleeding gums and bad breath.

At every stage of life, the need for preventive dental care and the effort required differ. That is why we provide individual advice and care, from your child’s very first tooth (and even before) through to old age. We tailor the cleaning and all preventive measures precisely to your needs. With regular professional cleanings and dental check-ups, you have a realistic chance to maintain healthy teeth and gums for life.
