Teeth cleaning for children
To prevent tooth decay and gum disease, regular professional teeth cleaning is also recommended for children, especially if they are wearing orthodontic braces. The procedure and scope of treatment are specially tailored to children and adolescents. Our team is attentive to their young patients and explains the treatment process in our dental practice to them step by step.
Children's teeth are particularly sensitive and therefore require appropriate care. Dentistry specifically for children is, of course, well aware of this fact: dental prophylaxis and teeth cleaning for children play a very important role. Damage to the teeth is prevented before it can even occur.
Prevention and dental prophylaxis
With children in particular, simply brushing their teeth is not enough; there are many more aspects to consider when it comes to dental care. Appropriate training and advice from a specialist plays an important role. With our preventive care program, our aim is to prevent tooth decay from developing in the first place, while also gently preparing your child for future dental appointments.
In addition to staining, thorough tooth cleaning, polishing, and fluoridation of the teeth, brushing techniques and eating habits are discussed and practiced. Our specially trained prophylaxis assistants patiently and lovingly introduce children to dental care, motivate them to practice oral hygiene at home, and give parents individual tips on dental care and nutrition for at home.
Our dental prophylaxis program for children includes:
- Assessment of individual caries risk
- Nutritional advice to minimize caries risk
- Information about fluoride treatment
- Practical exercises in using a toothbrush
- Introduction to modern dental care products
- Gentle cleaning and polishing of teeth
- Mineralization of tooth enamel with fluorides
- Desensitization measures as preparation for treatment
Ideally, dental prophylaxis should begin before birth. That is why we have developed a special dental prophylaxis program for pregnant women in consultation with gynecologists:
- Oral and dental health check in the lateral position
- Advice on individual treatment requirements
- Gentle teeth cleaning with individual tips on oral hygiene
- Oral health pregnancy and postpartum toiletries bag
Teeth cleaning for adults
Regular professional teeth cleaning is also the most effective way for adults to maintain healthy and beautiful teeth throughout their lives. In particular, spaces between teeth, recesses, wisdom teeth, and molars, which are difficult to reach with personal oral care, are professionally cleaned by specially trained specialists. This allows even stubborn plaque to be removed from difficult areas and prevents bad breath.
Professional dental prophylaxis combined with optimized dental care at home not only gives you a clean, fresh feeling in your mouth, but also significantly reduces the risk of caries and periodontitis in the long term. How often teeth cleaning is necessary is determined individually and adjusted on an ongoing basis depending on the degree of disease and risk. Intervals of between three and twelve months are common for dental hygiene treatments. Our dental hygiene team will be happy to treat you gently, professionally, and individually.
