Dental Prophylaxis

What can you expect from a dental prophylaxis at the SPEKTRUM dental practice in Berlin Mitte?

First of all, our dentists in Berlin Mitte examine every single tooth and inspect your gums in order to detect diseases at an early stage and treat them preventively. There are many dental cases where patients go to the dentist too late and therefore cannot receive the best possible treatment for their teeth. It is therefore advisable to visit our practice for regular check-ups and continuous prophylaxis treatments.

After the examination, we perform a professional dental cleaning to remove plaque and tartar that can accumulate despite thorough dental care. The impurities are often deposited in the spaces between the teeth or in the gum pockets. This is why they are not necessarily immediately recognizable when you look in the mirror. During a professional dental cleaning at our SPEKTRUM dental practice in Berlin Mitte, we polish each tooth individually. We then apply a layer of fluoride to your teeth to strengthen the enamel and prevent tooth decay. Of course, we can also give you valuable tips on oral hygiene.

For children in particular, we check the tooth brushing technique and thus ensure sustainable self-hygiene. But even adults do not always have optimal oral hygiene. This applies both to tooth brushing technique and the use of the most suitable oral care products for your teeth.

Why is dental prophylaxis so important?

Prophylaxis, preventive dental care and oral hygiene, is of crucial importance for the long-term preservation of our dental health. Why is dental prophylaxis so important? There are many reasons for this, ranging from avoiding painful dental problems to maintaining our general health.

Prevention
One of the most basic functions of prophylaxis is the prevention of tooth decay. Dental prophylaxis also plays a crucial role in preventing periodontitis, a gum disease that can lead to serious problems, including tooth loss. Regular removal of plaque and tartar helps to maintain gum health. During dental prophylaxis treatments, early signs of dental and oral disease can be detected. This allows for early intervention and treatment before problems worsen and become more costly.

Aesthetics
Another important aspect of prophylaxis is maintaining the aesthetic quality of your smile. Professional dental cleanings can remove discoloration and ensure that your teeth look bright and healthy. The ingestion of certain foods such as coffee and tea and the consumption of tobacco can also discolor teeth. For this reason alone, you should schedule regular appointments for professional dental cleanings to restore your teeth to their natural color. Many patients leave our practice very happy because they often notice a whitening of their teeth after a prophylaxis appointment.

General health
Oral health is closely linked to our general health. Oral problems can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other health problems. By taking care of your mouth, you help maintain your overall well-being.

Cost savings
Prevention is not only better than cure, it's also cheaper. Regular prophylactic treatments and careful oral hygiene at home can help to avoid expensive dental bills for more complex treatments. You should therefore have your teeth professionally cleaned at least twice a year to take the very best care of them.
