Prophylaxis (prevention) in Stuttgart Degerloch

Consistent oral hygiene combined with professional preventive care helps prevent common dental diseases such as tooth decay (caries) and periodontitis before they develop. Preventive dentistry focuses on maintaining healthy teeth and gums long term. A key part of our prophylaxis programme is professional dental cleaning, tailored to your individual needs.

Daily tooth brushing with a fluoride toothpaste, ideally after meals or at least twice a day, plays an important role in protecting your teeth and gums. However, even with careful home care, plaque often remains in hard-to-reach areas such as between the teeth or along the gum line. Regular professional preventive treatments help remove these deposits effectively and safely.

Professional dental cleaning is an essential preventive measure for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. During the appointment, all soft and hard bacterial deposits are carefully removed from the tooth surfaces, interdental spaces and gum pockets. This significantly reduces the risk of tooth decay and periodontal disease.

The treatment begins with a thorough dental examination. Plaque and tartar are then gently removed using modern techniques such as ultrasound, specialised instruments and dental floss. Discolouration caused by coffee, tea or smoking can be eliminated step by step using fine polishing pastes. Finally, the teeth are polished to a smooth finish and protected with a fluoride varnish to strengthen the enamel against acid attacks from oral bacteria.

At the end of the session, you will receive practical advice on oral hygiene and nutrition to help maintain optimal dental health between visits.
