Personalised dental prophylaxis for healthy teeth for a lifetime
Our aim is to work with you to determine a dental care regime that is specific to you, so that your natural teeth remain healthy for a lifetime.
ur dental hygienist is a specially qualified member of staff in our practice who deals with the prophylaxis and oral hygiene of our patients. She not only carries out dental cleaning at the highest level, but also creates a special prophylaxis programme for adults, children and pregnant women.
At the beginning of your prophylaxis session, our dental hygienist will pick you up personally from the waiting room.
In order to be able to create an individual prophylaxis programme for you, we first carry out various examinations to determine your personal risk of disease.
For example, colouring your teeth will show you which teeth have plaque deposits.
With a bleeding index, we determine the inflammation of the gums. A caries risk test determines the amount of caries-causing bacteria in your saliva. Among other things, a periodontitis risk test (DNA test) provides information on whether you have a genetic predisposition to periodontitis. Genetic predispositions could be present in you, even if you do not yet have the disease. Personalised prophylaxis is a very good way of preventing periodontitis from developing in the first place. Plaque, tartar and other stubborn dental plaque are then removed by professional teeth cleaning. The spaces between the teeth are also treated with particular care.
We then fluoridate the teeth. Fluoride serves to protect the teeth against caries for the next 3-6 months. Fluoride is applied to the cleaned teeth in the form of a gel/varnish. Early carious lesions such as “white spots” can also be treated by depositing fluoride.
After professional teeth cleaning, you will have a clean and fresh feeling in your mouth with noticeably smooth tooth surfaces. We will explain to you how you can avoid tooth decay and periodontitis and how to brush your teeth effectively, which tools you should use and practise with you. Our dental hygienist will also provide you with nutritional advice.
Our individualised prophylaxis is the safest way to keep your teeth healthy for a lifetime.
With our help and your active contribution, you can achieve this.
Our prophylaxis guide, which is the best-selling guide to healthy teeth in German-speaking countries with over 15,000 copies, will also help you achieve this.
