Professional oral hygiene

Good to know

A life with healthy teeth is not a utopia: tooth decay and periodontitis, the two main causes of tooth loss, can be prevented by regular professional dental cleaning and oral hygiene (including professional advice on how to carry out oral hygiene at home). Our prophylaxis assistants will be happy to provide you with advice and applications. Your periodontal status will be screened as part of a dental check-up for oral hygiene. If gingivitis or periodontitis is detected here, a comprehensive periodontal assessment with immediate treatment is indicated. This is to prevent the inflammation of the gums from spreading. The aim is to heal the gums and maintain this healthy condition. Failure to treat can lead to tooth loss in the long term. Make sure that you take comprehensive precautions to maintain vital gums. We do our part by providing you with the best possible professional oral hygiene care.

How does treatment work?

Are you new to us? In an initial appointment for professional oral hygiene, we make sure that the status quo is comprehensively assessed. Professional teeth cleaning at our prophylaxis dentist in Kitzbühel goes far beyond brushing your teeth at home; it is carried out in the dental practice by specially trained staff. During professional teeth cleaning, your teeth are thoroughly cleaned using special instruments – i.e. even stubborn plaque is removed. Finally, your teeth are polished. In this way, you are optimally protected against caries and periodontitis for the following weeks, because where there is no bacterial plaque, neither caries nor periodontitis can develop. If gum inflammation is present, we proceed meticulously. Our aim is to preserve your teeth and we will provide you with comprehensive information and show you what needs to be done to ensure that you can enjoy your teeth for a long time to come.

Summarized

Any restorative treatment (for example in the form of fillings, crowns, bridges, removable dentures and / or implants) of the teeth is only crowned with lasting success if the entire treatment is embedded in a consistent prophylaxis program. To prove to you that we ourselves are convinced that our prophylaxis program achieves high-quality treatment success, we offer you a 5-year guarantee on the dentures we fit – if you visit our practice regularly (at least every 6 months). As already mentioned, a healthy dental system is the basis for a healthy organism as a whole: Patients with periodontitis, for example, have a 70% increased risk of suffering from cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes. Our prophylaxis program therefore offers you comprehensive preventive healthcare that goes far beyond the dental system. For children and adolescents, so-called “fissure sealants” can help to prevent caries from developing in the areas most susceptible to caries, the deep grooves and pits in the teeth, so that a filling is never necessary. Over many years, regular dental prophylaxis with us in Tyrol also means significant cost savings for you. Frequently annoying and painful repair dentistry becomes superfluous thanks to a therapy that focuses on the causes.
