Prophylaxis & dental hygiene in Lucerne

“Wellness for your teeth and your gums!”

The term prophylaxis originates from the Greek and was equated with prevention and measures to preserve health.Clean and healthy teeth as well as prevention of new dental diseases, such as inflammation of teeth, gums and supporting structures, are our ultimate goals. Preserving your own teeth is always better than any dentures.

Prophylaxis is also called medical teeth cleaning, because it goes far beyond what can be achieved with dental care at home.

A regular, at least six-monthly professional dental cleaning is the most effective scientifically proven protection to keep healthy and beautiful teeth for lifetime and to prevent bad breath.

In the long term it will save you dental pain, time and money.

This is how you keep your teeth healthy!

Our individual prophylaxis is specifically tailored to our patients preventive program, with which diseases of the teeth (dental caries), gums (gingivitis = acute or chronic inflammation of the gums) and dental socket (periodontitis = inflammation of the bone with bone loss) can be optimally prevented. It lays the foundation for your long-term dental health, since 70-80% of all dental diseases can be prevented by prophylaxis.

Scientific studies have shown that inflammatory diseases of the mouth may increase the risk of certain systemic diseases.

Did you know that a poor oral hygiene i.a. increases the risk of respiratory diseases, heart attack, stroke, premature birth and low birth weight? Diabetes, a weakened immune system and smoking increase the risk of tooth decay and inflammation of the gums.

Preventive measures are important

The individual, professional tooth cleaning (PTC), reduces the risk of tooth loss. Because, unfortunately, the sole domestic dental care does not prevent the development of caries and periodontal disease. The professional dental hygiene is more effective. It includes the following sections:

Gentle removal of soft, hard and discolored teeth coverings
Inhibition of bacterial metabolism in the plaque
Remineralization of the tooth structure by fluoridation
Increasing the resistance of tooth enamel to acids by polishing the tooth surface with special pastes and polishing cups. Plaque can no longer be liable.
Individual oral hygiene instruction – and motivation
However, it is the reliable cooperation between you and us that leads to long-term healthy beautiful teeth!
