Professional tooth cleaning
PROFESSIONAL TOOTH CLEANING
Plaque is the main cause of inflammatory periodontal disease. It forms on every tooth and in the spaces between the teeth. Professional tooth cleaning, PZR for short, thoroughly removes plaque and bacteria in areas where the toothbrush itself cannot reach. Regular professional tooth cleaning also extends the shelf life of crowns, bridges and implants. In addition, it serves as a preventive measure against tooth and gum disease, helps to fresh breath, a beautiful, charming smile and healthy teeth - for a lifetime.
HOW DOES PROFESSIONAL TEETH CLEANING WORK?
Prevention of healthy dentition, healthy teeth for a lifetime, fresh breath, charming smile, early detection of tooth and gum disease and the resulting low follow-up costs are just a few of the advantages of carrying out regular prophylaxis sessions. Each prophylactic treatment is individually tailored to the patient. For example, children have a different focus than adolescents or adults. Diabetics, on the other hand, have other than the 50-plus generation. Although prophylaxis is very individual, it can be roughly outlined as follows:
After a thorough examination of the teeth, a tartar removal is carried out if necessary, during which hard plaque is removed. Discoloration from coffee, tea or cigarette consumption can be removed with the help of powder jet devices, even in hard-to-reach places. Then it is the turn of the soft coverings, which can be easily cleaned with small brushes. The tooth surface is then smoothed and polished with a special paste. This also makes your own care easier: Bacteria find poor grip on smooth tooth surfaces. Finally, the tooth surfaces can be coated with fluoride varnish. This increases the protection against acid attacks by the bacteria. A prophylaxis program specially tailored to children helps to detect tooth decay at an early stage and to prevent new caries from forming. Children get help with brushing and are introduced to the correct and thorough brushing of their teeth in a playful way. We would be happy to advise you on prophylaxis and work with you to find the right treatment for you.
