Professional teeth cleaning is a key part of preventive dentistry and an important step in maintaining long-term oral health. Even with careful daily brushing at home, bacterial plaque, tartar, and surface stains can build up over time\u2014especially in hard-to-reach areas such as between the teeth and along the gumline. These deposits increase the risk of tooth decay (caries), gum inflammation (gingivitis), and periodontal disease (periodontitis).<\/p>\n

With regular professional teeth cleaning, many of these conditions can be effectively prevented. At the same time, the treatment leaves your mouth feeling fresh and your teeth looking cleaner and brighter\u2014helping you maintain a well-cared-for smile.<\/p>\n

What is professional teeth cleaning?<\/b><\/p>\n

A professional teeth cleaning is a thorough, mechanical cleaning of the teeth carried out exclusively by qualified dental professionals. The aim is to remove disease-causing bacterial plaque (biofilm), surface stains, and tartar as completely as possible. This not only significantly reduces the risk of tooth decay and gum disease, but can also improve the appearance of your teeth.<\/p>\n

What happens during a professional teeth cleaning?<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Oral examination
    At the start of the appointment, we carefully assess the condition of your teeth, gums, and\u2014if applicable\u2014any existing restorations or dental prosthetics. Signs of inflammation or areas of concern are recorded.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Removal of plaque
    Using hand instruments, ultrasonic devices, and air-polishing (powder-jet or AirFlow) technology, we remove soft and hard deposits as well as tartar\u2014both above and, where appropriate, just below the gumline.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Cleaning the interdental space
    We clean between the teeth especially thoroughly, as bacteria and food debris often accumulate there. Depending on your needs, we use interdental brushes, dental floss, or an air-polishing (AirFlow) system.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Polishing the tooth
    After cleaning, the teeth are polished. Smoother surfaces make it harder for plaque to adhere again and can also make the teeth look brighter.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  5. \n

    Fluoride treatment
    To finish, a highly effective fluoride gel or varnish is applied to strengthen the enamel and provide additional protection against tooth decay.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  6. \n

    Personalised oral hygiene advice
    Patients receive practical advice for at-home oral care\u2014for example, on proper brushing technique, how to use dental floss or interdental brushes, and guidance on a tooth-friendly diet.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
