We recommend professional oral hygiene twice a year

Prophylaxis consists of two elements

01.

The oral hygiene at home

Under the guidance of a specially trained prophylaxis assistant, you will learn and practice the use of dental floss, interdental brushes, tongue cleaner, etc.. - As well as the right brushing technique for you. This will enable you to clean your teeth effectively at home.

02.

The professional teeth cleaning / oral hygiene

We thoroughly clean your teeth of hard (tartar) and soft (plaque) plaque using special sonic, hand and powder jet devices. We pay special attention to those areas that are difficult to reach with your home oral hygiene. Finally, all tooth surfaces are carefully polished.
