The basis for healthy teeth. Because prevention is the best protection!

Together with our patients and we have a common goal: Healthy teeth.

With the prophylactic treatment you actively prevent tooth decay and gingivitis. Our team draws on many years of experience. Constant further training is standard, so that our prophylaxis assistants always work according to the latest scientific standards.

Tooth cleaning I prophylaxis

Clean teeth and healthy gums are an important basis for health. Unfortunately, dental prophylaxis has been neglected millions of times in recent years. Even today there are dental practices and dental clinics that do not offer prophylaxis or professional tooth cleaning.

Dental prophylaxis reduces the chance of developing tooth, mouth and jaw diseases and other diseases that can be triggered by dental bacteria, such as endocarditis or specific joint inflammation. With regular prophylaxis at intervals of 3-6 months, the health of teeth and gums can be permanently maintained. As a result, less complex and expensive dental treatment is required.

prophylactic measures

Prophylactic measures are most effective when we know exactly what the individual risk is. We determine the risk of caries and periodontitis based on various parameters:

• Examination of the oral cavity for previous caries activity and the tendency to build up tartar and plaque.

• PSI - Periodontal Screening Index and analysis of plaque: Pocket measurement, signs of inflammation provide a good overview of the condition of the gums.

• The saliva analysis to determine the caries-relevant bacteria in order to contain them in a targeted manner by administering appropriate medication.

• The germ test verifies the individual risk of periodontitis in order to be able to intervene with medication if necessary.

​

Professional tooth cleaning

As part of a professional teeth cleaning, plaque and tartar are thoroughly removed. This is done gently with the help of ultrasound so as not to damage the tooth surface. To reduce plaque affinity, the teeth are finally polished.

 

In an extended context, protruding filling and crown edges are also corrected, since plaque often accumulates in these areas and is difficult or impossible to reach with a toothbrush.

 

In order to harden the hard tooth substance and make it more resistant to caries, fluoridation measures are carried out by applying varnish and gel.

 

We explain in detail the various care techniques and aids, tailored to your situation. We recommend the right products for you to use at home.

 

A comprehensive explanation of the development of caries and gum disease enables you to better understand and act more consciously. The detailed nutritional advice informs you about a healthy and tooth-friendly diet.

 

bacteria test

In the case of stubborn gingivitis, we carry out a bacterial test to determine the germ flora and to proceed accordingly. Problem germs that could lead to the loss of the abutment teeth or the implants are ruled out in advance.

 

Sterile paper points are held in the gum pockets for a few seconds. After the evaluation has been carried out, it is then decided whether mechanical cleaning is sufficient or whether drug therapy is required.

saliva diagnostics

Saliva serves to keep the oral cavity moist and transports, among other things, mineral salts to remineralize the enamel. It also buffers the acid after eating. If necessary, a small amount of saliva is taken and the pH value determined: If this buffering capacity is high, the risk of caries is lower. The saliva test shows us this buffering capacity.
