In short: prophylaxis pays off, for all patients.

The plaque that accumulates on the teeth and must be removed consists mainly of bacteria. These bacteria can cause inflammation and tooth decay. If plaque is allowed to spread unhindered, gingivitis can quickly develop into periodontitis. Even if you brush and floss thoroughly, you cannot completely remove plaque, which can cause tooth decay and periodontitis. Professional teeth cleaning at the dentist, along with regular flossing, is the most effective way to prevent periodontitis. It is important to take periodontitis seriously, as it can have an impact on the entire body.

Prophylaxis is an important part of dental care and can help you stay tooth healthy for life. Regular prophylaxis treatments thoroughly clean and maintain teeth, which can lead to smoother teeth and a healthy feeling in the mouth. Prophylaxis is also safe and comfortable because it is performed by professional dentists and pain is avoided. In addition, it can help ensure that you get the best service from your dentist, as it can detect and treat potential problems early on. In many cases, prophylaxis is also the least expensive way to prevent dental problems and maintain long-term dental health. It is therefore important not to neglect prophylaxis and to have regular prophylaxis treatments at the dentist.
