By getting teeth cleaned professionally at a dental practice, the health of teeth and jaws can be sustained for a lifetime-provided that this is done on a regular basis. In our practice, three specifically trained dental assistants examine teeth and gums thoroughly, stain the bacterial plaque and finally remove this from the teeth- especially from those areas which are difficult to reach, when brushing your teeth at home. In addition to this, drawing up a mouth-hygiene-index as well as measuring the gingival pockets (an area of potential space between a tooth and the surrounding gingival tissue), are also part of the dental prophylaxis treatment.
The sooner you start having your teeth cleaned professionally on a regular basis, the less chance there will be of dental decay and gum problems. If you need fillings, periodontal or prosthetic treatment anyhow, the success of the treatment will be greatly improved by having your teeth regularly cleaned professionally. Thereby you can save on a lot of time and expense in the long term, otherwise wasted on constant dental repair work later on in life!
Our patients receive a recall-timer, in which our dental prophylaxis specialists record every professional dental cleaning, which has been performed. Therefore you have a record of received treatments and having been for seven treatments, you receive the eighth treatment free.
