Professional dental cleaning (PZR) from just 95€*

Caries is caused by bacteria that settle in plaque on the teeth. These bacteria produce acids that dissolve tooth minerals, leading to caries. Inadequate oral hygiene, intake of sugary foods and inadequate fluoride supply increase the risk of caries. To prevent caries, it is advisable to brush your teeth regularly, floss and have regular check-ups with your dentist.

Professional dental cleaning, also known as prophylaxis, is an important part of oral health. Before the cleaning, a risk assessment is performed to determine whether the patient is at increased risk for caries or periodontitis. Based on these results, we recommend to the patient the intervals at which he or she should have a professional dental cleaning. We then discuss home oral hygiene and, if necessary, tips for improving care.

The actual cleaning begins with the removal of tartar using an ultrasonic device. Then a powder-water blaster is used to gently but thoroughly clean the tooth surfaces and interdental spaces to remove bacterial biofilm. The teeth are then polished to create a smooth surface that provides less surface for new plaque to attack. Finally, a special protective varnish is applied to keep teeth protected longer.

A professional dental cleaning is an important step in keeping your teeth and gums healthy. It helps prevent cavities, periodontal disease and other conditions and keeps your smile bright. By visiting your dentist regularly and having your teeth professionally cleaned, you can be sure that your teeth and gums will stay in top shape.

The frequency of professional tooth cleaning, also called periodontal treatment or PZR, depends on various factors. First, a risk assessment is performed on each patient to determine the individual risk of caries or periodontitis. In general, however, dentists recommend performing a PZR at least once a year to remove plaque and tartar to maintain gum and tooth health. However, those at higher risk may need more frequent PZRs. It is important to follow the dentist's recommendations to ensure optimal oral health.
