Professional teeth cleaning (PMTC)

Every professional teeth cleaning begins with a thorough examination and an informative consultation. We then remove plaque, polish the teeth and finish with fluoridation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should you go for professional teeth cleaning?
We usually recommend a professional teeth cleaning once or twice a year. How often it makes sense for you depends on your individual tendency towards tartar and staining.
Does a professional teeth cleaning hurt?
A professional teeth cleaning is generally painless. If your gums are sensitive, the treatment may feel a little sensitive, but this can usually be eased well.
What does a professional teeth cleaning achieve that daily oral care cannot?
During professional cleaning, we remove plaque and staining even from hard-to-reach spots that are often not reachable with a toothbrush alone.

Powder-water jet device

When using the powder-water jet device, a water-air mixture is enriched with a fine cleaning powder - such as calcium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate or glycine. This allows discolouration and pigment deposits to be gently removed from the tooth surfaces.

Polishing

Polishing follows the fine cleaning. The preceding cleaning steps slightly roughen the tooth surface - left untreated, bacteria and plaque would quickly settle here again. That's why we polish the tooth surfaces with soft rubber cups, fine brushes and polishing paste of varying coarseness until they shine.

Fluoridation

Finally, we apply a special fluoride-containing solution or varnish to the tooth surfaces to prevent tooth decay. Fluoride supports the redeposition of minerals into tooth enamel (remineralisation) and additionally protects it against acid attacks in the oral cavity.

Fissure sealing

Fissures are fine indentations, clefts and grooves on the chewing surfaces of the molars, where bacteria can settle that are difficult or impossible to reach with a toothbrush. Their metabolic products - organic acids - can cause tooth decay there. To prevent this, we specifically seal at-risk fissures.

Pocket cleaning

Cleaning periodontal pockets requires the utmost care as well as specialist knowledge and experience in handling the relevant hand instruments.
