Focus on prevention
Prevention and professional teeth cleaning in Meerbusch-Büderich
Healthy teeth begin before treatment: with regular check-ups, thorough cleaning and good care at home.
Why prevention?
Small deposits, big effect
Every day a soft layer of bacteria (plaque) forms on the teeth. If it is not removed completely, caries and gum inflammation can develop. In some places the toothbrush simply cannot reach, and that is exactly where professional teeth cleaning comes in.
Regular prevention takes little time and, at best, saves you entire treatments. Besides, the teeth feel noticeably smooth and clean afterwards.
Step by step
How professional teeth cleaning works
-
Examine
We examine teeth and gums and discuss what we will pay particular attention to today.
-
Clean
We carefully remove soft and hard deposits (plaque and tartar) with fine instruments, including between the teeth.
-
Polish & protect
Smooth surfaces make it harder for new deposits to stick. Finally, a fluoride varnish strengthens the enamel.

Tips for home
You learn which brush, which technique and which aids suit your teeth best.
Good to know
How often is teeth cleaning advisable?
That varies from person to person. For many people, one or two appointments a year is a good rhythm. With gum problems or narrow gaps between the teeth, a shorter interval can make sense. We give an honest recommendation that fits your situation.
There is suitable preventive care for children too: in individual prevention we playfully practise correct brushing and strengthen the teeth with fluoride. More on the page Pediatric dentistry.
