Dental cleaning
For healthy teeth and a radiant smile
Professional dental cleaning is a central component of prevention and an important step in maintaining oral and dental health in the long term. Even if daily dental care is carried out carefully at home, bacterial plaque, tartar and discoloration can accumulate over time - especially in hard-to-reach areas such as between the teeth or at the gum line. These residues promote the development of tooth decay, gingivitis and periodontitis.
Regular professional teeth cleaning is an effective way of preventing such diseases. At the same time, the treatment ensures that your mouth feels clean and your teeth shine - including an all-round well-groomed radiant smile.
What is a dental cleaning?
Professional dental cleaning is a thorough, mechanical cleaning of the teeth that is carried out by our qualified specialists. The aim of the treatment is to remove disease-causing bacterial plaque (biofilm), discoloration and tartar. This not only significantly reduces the risk of tooth decay and gum disease, but also improves the appearance of the teeth.
Procedure
Examination of the oral cavity
To begin with, the condition of the teeth, gums and any dentures will be carefully checked. Signs of inflammation or problem areas are documented.Removal of plaque
Hard and soft plaque and tartar are removed using hand instruments, ultrasonic devices and air-flow systems - both above and below the gum line.Cleaning the interdental spaces
The interdental spaces, where bacteria and food debris prefer to settle, are cleaned particularly thoroughly. Special interdental brushes, dental floss or air-flow systems are used for this purpose.Polishing the tooth surfaces
After cleaning, the teeth are polished. The smooth surfaces make it more difficult for plaque to adhere again and also make the teeth appear brighter.Fluoridation
Finally, a highly effective fluoride gel or varnish is applied to strengthen the tooth enamel and provide additional protection against tooth decay.Individual oral hygiene advice
Patients receive tips on dental care at home - for example, the correct brushing technique and how to use dental floss or interdental brushes.

How often should you attend a dental cleaning?
The recommended frequency depends on individual factors such as oral hygiene, general health or pre-existing conditions. For most patients, a dental cleaning twice a year is sufficient. People with an increased risk of periodontitis or tooth decay - for example due to smoking, diabetes or genetic predisposition - often benefit from three to four sessions per year as part of an individual prophylaxis program.
Conclusion
Professional dental cleaning is much more than just a cosmetic measure - it is a key component in preventing dental diseases and plays a decisive role in preserving your natural, healthy teeth. It not only gives you a fresh feeling in your mouth, but also helps to avoid expensive follow-up treatments.
