Dental floss as part of daily oral hygiene

Keeping your own teeth for as long as possible

This wish is the focus of what we offer in prophylaxis. We provide professional tooth cleaning, caries prophylaxis, individual prophylaxis for children and adults as well as accompanying treatment in periodontal therapy. For patients with implants we have developed our own implant prophylaxis programme.

Optimal care at home and professional support from our dental hygiene team together form a successful route to healthy, well-cared-for teeth.

Our Strengths

What prophylaxis means with us

Prevention is not an off-the-peg standard service - we tailor it to your personal risk.

Findings first

The examination comes first: where are the deposits, and how are the gums and the margins of fillings?

Professional tooth cleaning

Hard and soft deposits are removed gently - including where the toothbrush cannot reach.

Individual prophylaxis

Prepared appropriately for the age of children and adolescents, with motivation instead of a wagging finger.

Our own recall system

We remind you of the next appointment in good time, so that prevention does not get lost in everyday life.

Prophylaxis saves you complex treatments

Scientific studies confirm the success of professional tooth cleaning, which is always part of a modern prophylaxis concept. It removes deposits where oral hygiene at home reaches its limits - between the teeth, along the gum line and at the margins of fillings and crowns.

You can read how professional tooth cleaning is carried out with us and which devices we use on the page Professional tooth cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does prophylaxis at the dentist mean?
All measures that prevent caries and gum disease: examination, professional tooth cleaning, fluoridation and advice on oral hygiene at home that is tailored to you.
How often should I have a professional tooth cleaning?
That depends on your personal risk - for instance on the condition of your gums, on restorations and on your tendency to build up plaque. We set the interval according to the findings and remind you through our recall system.
Is careful brushing at home not enough?
For the smooth surfaces it usually is, but for the spaces between the teeth, gum pockets and the margins of fillings and crowns it often is not. That is exactly where professional cleaning comes in.
Is there prophylaxis for children as well?
Yes, as individual prophylaxis. It is structured to suit the child's age and relies on motivation rather than a wagging finger.
