Professional teeth cleaning

Despite thorough dental care, many people do not succeed in reaching all interdental spaces and niches in the oral cavity and thus removing all bacteria. With the brush and also with dental floss some places are difficult to reach. Therefore, over time, plaque will accumulate there that hardens to tartar. Therefore, you should have the "professional" cleaned once or twice a year. However, professional tooth cleaning cannot replace daily tooth brushing, but only serves as another additional measure for long-lasting oral health.

Course of treatment

Professional teeth cleaning can be carried out by your dentist or by a specially trained assistant (prophylaxis assistant or dental hygienist). Your teeth are intensively cleaned with special instruments, sound or ultrasound devices and powder blasting devices. During the treatment, the dentist will first look at your teeth. Then he or the helper will clean your teeth thoroughly. First, the mineralized plaque (tartar) above and below the gums is removed. After that, the softer plaque above and below the gums are removed. This is followed by fluoridation and polishing of all tooth surfaces. Depending on requirements, tongue cleaning is carried out or fixed or removable dentures are cleaned.

Unfortunately, the statutory health insurance companies do not cover the costs of professional tooth cleaning.

Therefore, ask us directly how much the tooth cleaning costs for you.
As a rule, it will be a little more than you spend on a good restaurant visit. However, the certainty that he has done everything to enjoy a good meal for a long time without complaints should be worth it.
