Professional Teeth Cleaning in Düsseldorf

Professional teeth cleaning and prophylaxis in Düsseldorf

Healthy, strong teeth matter. Over the course of a lifetime, the human dentition is put under considerable strain. Proper oral and dental hygiene is therefore particularly important. To maintain your dental health, thorough and regular tooth brushing alone is not enough. Professional dental prophylaxis also contributes to the long-term health of your teeth.

Dental prophylaxis treatment involves preventive measures to help avoid possible diseases of the mouth and teeth. Prophylaxis at the dentist therefore also includes, for example, caries prevention or fissure sealing of the teeth. Regular professional teeth cleaning in Düsseldorf can likewise contribute to your long-term oral and dental health.

Why is prophylaxis important?

Many different bacteria live in the mouth, and a good number of them are actually beneficial. Some are very important for the digestive process. Others, however, endanger your health if they are not removed regularly. The processes in the oral cavity are highly complex. What matters, though, is that these harmful bacteria feed on the sugar in your food and convert it into acid. This acid can then attack the tooth enamel. In the worst case, the enamel becomes porous, which can lead to holes in the teeth.

To help avoid such cavities, regular check-up examinations are very important. During such a prophylaxis appointment, Dr. Pantas, your dentist in Düsseldorf, can also detect or help prevent other dental diseases. Regular dental prophylaxis can also help prevent periodontitis. This painful inflammation of the gums can cause long-term damage to the oral cavity. To keep both caries and periodontitis from developing and endangering your dental health, a professional teeth cleaning (PZR) is a sensible option.

Through correct tooth brushing, regular check-ups and professional teeth cleaning, your oral and dental health can be maintained in the long term. This may spare you potentially expensive dental prosthetics well into old age. Wearing dentures can be avoided through proper dental care.

• Care for your teeth and gums
• Brush your teeth correctly
• Use dental floss
• Use mouthwash
• Choose a tooth-friendly diet
• Use fluoride toothpaste
• Stop or reduce smoking

Professional teeth cleaning in Düsseldorf

Alongside daily oral hygiene, regular visits to your dentist in Düsseldorf are also very important. Even with conscientious brushing, bacteria, plaque and tartar often cannot be avoided. Some areas of the oral cavity and tooth surfaces may not be optimally reachable with a toothbrush. If these areas are not checked and cleaned regularly, caries and gum disease can be encouraged. To help prevent tartar, for example, dental specialists developed the PZR.

How does professional teeth cleaning work?

Teeth cleaning at the dentist reliably removes plaque from the interdental spaces as well as tartar. This helps prevent caries and gum inflammation. To achieve this, the oral cavity is first examined thoroughly as part of a check-up. This allows Dr. Pantas to identify which areas need to be treated. Your dentist in Düsseldorf conscientiously assesses the current condition of your teeth and gums. This means the professional teeth cleaning can be carried out in a targeted and efficient manner.

Our specially trained team then begins the teeth cleaning. Various instruments may be used for this. Plaque can be removed, for example, with a powder-water jet or with sonic vibration. Which method is used depends on the condition of your teeth. Once the plaque has been removed, the teeth are polished. The fluoride paste additionally makes the tooth more resistant to caries formation, and the tooth surface is sealed.

How long does professional teeth cleaning take?

The duration of the teeth cleaning at your dentist in Düsseldorf depends on how much tartar needs to be removed and whether any further issues are noticed. Depending on the condition of your teeth, a professional teeth cleaning can take up to an hour.
Once the plaque has been professionally removed, the best conditions have been created for a healthy oral cavity.

Cost of professional teeth cleaning

The cost of a professional teeth cleaning depends on the scope of treatment and the individual condition of your teeth. Tartar removal is covered by German statutory health insurance once a year. The professional teeth cleaning (PZR) that goes beyond this is an additional service.

Good news: More and more statutory health insurance providers voluntarily contribute towards the PZR — many cover 30 to 80 euros per year. Ask your insurance provider! Private health insurers generally reimburse the PZR in full.

At our practice, we inform you transparently about the expected costs in advance. We offer fair prices for thorough prophylaxis with state-of-the-art Airflow technology.

Airflow technology: gentle and thorough

In our prophylaxis department we use the Airflow Prophylaxis Master — one of the most modern devices for professional teeth cleaning. The Airflow method works with a fine powder-water jet that removes plaque, staining and biofilm in a particularly gentle and thorough way.

Compared with conventional methods, Airflow is:

• More comfortable and less painful
• Gentler on tooth enamel and gums
• More effective at removing staining (coffee, tea, nicotine)
• Suitable for implants, brackets and sensitive teeth
