Teeth cleaning is much more than just beautification. Professional cleaning of teeth is very important for dental health and can prevent tooth decay and inflammation. In our practice of dentist Dr. Johanna in Berlin you can have your teeth cleaned professionally.
Especially patients with dental prostheses in the form of bridges or dentures, or patients who are prone to caries, have problems with the gums, or even suffer from periodontitis, are advised to have their teeth professionally cleaned.
How often the teeth cleaning should take place is completely individual and we can determine specifically adapted to your needs and vary at any time if the situation changes. Certain lifestyle habits, such as the consumption of staining foods and tobacco, can also make more frequent dental cleanings necessary.
Why is dental cleaning important?
Professional teeth cleaning (PZR) is an essential part of preventive dental care and contributes to oral health in many ways. Thanks to its preventive effect, it effectively protects against tooth decay, gingivitis and periodontitis. It also reduces tartar and potential problems can be recognised at an early stage.
During cleaning, stubborn plaque such as biofilm, discolouration and bacterial deposits are removed, even from hard-to-reach areas. This improves oral health and contributes to fresh breath and healthy gums, which also reduces the risk of tooth loss. In the long term, the PZR has a positive effect on general health as the bacterial load in the mouth is reduced.
The PZR comprises several steps: After a thorough examination, the teeth are cleaned, both mechanically and with hand instruments to treat hard-to-reach areas. The teeth are then polished to create a smooth surface that makes it more difficult for plaque to form. The final step is fluoridation, which strengthens the enamel and provides additional protection.
The frequency of teeth cleaning depends on individual needs. Healthy adults are recommended to have their teeth cleaned twice a year, while patients at risk should be treated every three to four months. These intervals can be adjusted depending on oral hygiene and health status.
In the long term, PZR offers numerous benefits: it saves costs by avoiding costly treatments, helps to preserve natural teeth and improves the aesthetics and general feel of the mouth. It also encourages better oral hygiene in everyday life, which supports dental health in the long term.
What happens during a PDC?
A professional dental cleaning (PDC) comprises several steps and takes around 45-60 minutes. After a brief preliminary examination to check your oral health and discuss the treatment, plaque and tartar are removed, even from hard-to-reach areas. The teeth are then polished to smooth the surfaces and make it more difficult for plaque to form again. Hard-to-reach areas are also cleaned with dental floss or interdental brushes. Finally, a fluoride varnish is applied to strengthen the enamel and protect against tooth decay. In the final consultation, you will receive personalised tips on dental care and recommendations for your next appointment.
