Oral hygiene treatment

Even the most thorough dental cleaning at home often does not remove all plaque from the teeth and the spaces between them. Particularly persistent discolorations caused by the consumption of tea, coffee, red wine or tobacco often cannot be completely removed.

Caries and periodontitis are caused by plaque and its metabolic products. A set of teeth that is as free of plaque and tartar as possible is therefore the basis of oral health.

The course of our oral hygiene treatment is adapted to your individual needs:

  • After removing all hard and soft plaque with special instruments, the discoloration is removed and your natural tooth color is restored.
  • The tooth surfaces are smoothed and polished so that plaque bacteria are less able to adhere.
  • The intervals at which oral hygiene is necessary for you will be discussed depending on the situation.
  • Professional oral hygiene cannot replace dental cleaning at home.

Fissure sealing

The occlusal surfaces of molars are not smooth, but have furrows, pits and grooves. These valleys and pits are called fissures.

When chewing, food debris can be pressed into these deep fissures, which are difficult or impossible to remove with a standard toothbrush. 

In fissure sealing, the fissures are sealed with a thin liquid varnish that is hardened by light. Thus, the chewing surfaces can be cleaned more easily and better in the course of your daily oral hygiene.

Fissure sealing is strongly recommended for high caries risk and highly jagged fissures; it lasts for a long time and is a quick, painless and inexpensive form of prophylactic caries prevention. However, fissure sealing is a purely private service and is not covered by all health insurance companies.

Prophylactic fluoridation

In addition to a healthy diet and thorough oral hygiene, fluoridation also helps to protect against caries in several ways (caries prophylaxis).

Prophylactic fluoridation may be necessary for teeth in the breakthrough or for cleaning niches.
This involves spreading a liquid or gel containing sodium fluoride on the teeth. The procedure is therefore completely painless and especially suitable for children (6 years and older), as they usually have not yet practiced a thorough toothbrushing routine.

Children's oral hygiene

We show the children how to use their own toothbrushing utensils correctly.

We stain their dental plaque and show them the areas that should be better brushed.

Finally, we clean and polish the teeth with brushes, tooth paste and fluoridate.
