Teeth cleaning

Preserve the natural white of the teeth

Even the most careful dental care is not always effective against the discolouration, plaque and tartar that accumulates over time. If stubborn deposits, bacteria that have penetrated and solid calculus cannot be removed by rinsing or brushing your teeth at home, professional cleaning at the dentist is recommended to avoid tooth decay and periodontal diseases. Hand instruments, powder jet devices such as air flow or ultrasonic methods are used to remove plaque thoroughly and painlessly. The tooth surface is smoothed by the final polishing. Other services to prevent caries and gingivitis are the fluorination of the teeth with rinsing solutions, gels or varnishes to strengthen the resistance of the tooth surfaces and the sealing of tooth ridges. Some health insurance companies grant a subsidy depending on the condition of the teeth, the difference is to be paid by the patient.
