Prophylaxis
- The human system is programmed for health by nature. Our body has all the necessary defense mechanisms to fight diseases. But this takes energy and resources that we can use elsewhere in our stressful everyday lives.
With prophylaxis in Tittling, we prevent diseases with natural means and give your body the support it needs.
Prophylaxis means for us:
- No use of fluorides!
- Natural aids to strengthen the enamel!
- Assistance for thorough dental care at home!
- Nutritional counseling!
- Special prophylaxis programs for children and adults!
The gateway to the organism: this is why dental prophylaxis is so important for your health
Bacteria are the basis of all life. They have been at home on Earth for more than three billion years, making them the first living creatures ever.
Our oral health would also not function without bacteria. Hundreds of thousands are found on the tongue, between the teeth and on the oral mucosa. Most of them perform important tasks, but some bacteria can also harm us.
Dental plaque leads to inflammation and caries
Especially when they are outnumbered. Due to irregular dental care or a particularly high-sugar diet, they multiply and form stubborn plaque that you cannot easily remove with a toothbrush. The result: the risk of caries and periodontitis increases. We have to be especially careful about the chronic inflammation of the dental bed. Periodontitis can also increase the risk of diseases such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and cardiovascular disease.
Individual prophylaxis adapts to your health
Your health only comes around once. Disease patterns can be repetitive, but every body reacts differently to stress. Therefore, with our individual prophylaxis, we offer you a concept that is tailored exactly to your needs.
Our individual prophylaxis for adults:
- Survey of the individual disease risk
- Thorough cleaning of all teeth and interdental spaces
- Polishing all teeth
- Sealing the teeth with a fluoride-free polish
- Individual counseling on improving oral health and the use of aids such as dental floss or interdental brushes.
The professional teeth cleaning as a preventive health care
An important component of individual prophylaxis is professional tooth cleaning (PZR). Specially trained staff remove plaque from the tooth surfaces, from the interdental spaces and from the tongue.
This is the procedure of professional teeth cleaning in our practice:
- Staining of the teeth to make plaque and bacteria visible
- Gentle removal of soft and hard plaque
- gentle cleaning of deep gingival pockets with ultrasonic devices and special instruments
- Teeth polishing
- Sealing with a fluoride-free varnish
In our practice we work with an airflow. This is a special cleaning device that can gently and quickly remove discoloration. A powder-water mixture is sprayed onto the teeth under compressed air. Treatment with Airflow is very suitable in combination with professional tooth cleaning (PZR).
