Dental hygiene and regular check-ups

Your smile in good hands

In our dental practice, we place particular emphasis on high-quality dental hygiene. For professional teeth cleaning we use the AIRFLOW® PROPHYLAXIS MASTER by EMS. Your teeth cleaning is carried out by experienced dentists or our prophylaxis assistant, with comprehensive care and expert advice.

What sets our dental hygiene apart:

• Teeth cleaning by experienced professionals: Our dentists and our prophylaxis assistant bring extensive expertise in dental hygiene and carry out the cleanings personally. This allows them to spot possible problems early and offer solutions straight away.
• AIRFLOW® PROPHYLAXIS MASTER: With this innovative device, we offer you gentle and effective teeth cleaning. The AIRFLOW® PROPHYLAXIS MASTER thoroughly removes plaque, discolouration and bacteria without damaging the enamel. This ensures a thorough clean and helps prevent tooth decay and gum disease.

We work according to the principle of Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) from the Swiss manufacturer EMS: first we make the plaque visible with a disclosing solution, then we remove it precisely where it has built up.

A professional dental hygiene session with us covers these steps:

1. A simple plaque disclosing test shows us what needs to be cleaned
2. Tartar is removed completely by hand
3. An Airflow powder jet then cleans into every last corner
4. Polishing with a special paste
5. Fluoride treatment of the teeth and the spaces between them

• 3D scan of your teeth: Our modern 3D scanner captures a precise, three-dimensional image of your teeth and jaws. This makes diagnosis and treatment planning easier and means we can offer you tailor-made solutions.
• Digital X-rays: With digital X-rays, we obtain detailed images of your teeth and jaws. This technique reduces radiation exposure and allows the images to be evaluated more quickly, so we can identify and discuss potential problems immediately.
• Comprehensive examination: During your dental hygiene appointment, your teeth and gums are examined thoroughly. If we notice anything unusual, we address it straight away and offer individual solutions.
• Personal care: We value a personal relationship of trust with our patients. Our dentists take time for your concerns and answer all your questions.

Key aspects of dental hygiene:

1. Brushing technique: Brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Use gentle, circular movements to protect your enamel.
2. Dental floss: Flossing every day is essential to remove plaque and food debris between the teeth and to prevent gum disease.
3. Mouthwashes: Antibacterial mouthwashes can help balance the oral flora and reduce the build-up of plaque.
4. Diet: A balanced diet low in sugar supports dental health. Avoid sugary snacks and drinks to lower the risk of tooth decay.

Regular dental check-ups:

You should book an appointment with your dentist at least once a year. During these check-ups, our dentists provide the following services:

• Professional teeth cleaning: Our dentists remove tartar and plaque that cannot be reached when brushing.
• Caries check: Checking for tooth decay and other conditions.
• Gum check: Examining the gums for signs of inflammation or other conditions.
• X-rays: If needed, to check for problems that are not visible.
