Caries and periodontitis pose an extraordinary threat to the health of your teeth. Regular, professional prophylaxis consistently reduces the bacteria settling in the oral cavity and thus significantly improves your general oral health and the stability of the entire periodontium.
Daily dental care as well as a competent, six-monthly preventive treatment (may vary from person to person) and advice prevent the development of serious dental diseases, maintain your smile, health and self-confidence. We all know and appreciate the feeling of professionally cleaned, beautifully smooth and polished teeth. Arrange a prophylaxis treatment with us. We are waiting for you.
If plaque is not removed regularly, serious gum inflammation can easily develop. Weak, repetitive bleeding of the gums is a recognizable symptom of this. Even if you clean your teeth thoroughly several times a day with a quality toothbrush, you will only reach about 70% of the tooth surfaces. The interdental spaces, including gum pockets, where bacteria and food debris accumulate out of reach of toothbrushes, are particularly at risk.
Professional tooth cleaning and prophylaxis treatment in the practice begins with the gentle, complete removal of tartar and the soft plaque mentioned above. The dentist then corrects any discoloration of the tooth enamel, which is usually caused by the moderate consumption of red wine, coffee, tea or tobacco products, among other things. The polishing of the tooth surfaces concludes a normal preventive treatment.

Even with very thorough brushing, there are crevices and spaces between your teeth that a toothbrush and dental floss cannot fully reach. Hard deposits (tartar) form in these areas, which can cause cavities and gum inflammation. Professional dental hygiene removes these deposits completely and provides long-term protection for your teeth.
