Mouth Hygiene with Airflow<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The foundation for healthy teeth, gums, and the rest of the periodontium – the tooth-supporting apparatus, is the regular care of teeth<\/strong>. Brushing teeth twice a day<\/strong>, regular use of dental floss<\/strong>, and mouthwash<\/strong> are prerequisites for preventing cavities<\/strong> and gum inflammations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Bacteria that accumulate in tartar and plaque cause inflammation of the gums (gingivitis). Symptoms include gum bleeding, a reddish color of the gums, increased sensitivity to pain, and swelling.<\/p>\n

Persistent plaque and tartar, especially under the gums, can lead to periodontitis, which causes increased bone loss and loosening of teeth, as well as potential tooth loss.<\/p>\n

\"Mundhygiene<\/p>\n

Ideal is a professional tooth cleaning every 3 months<\/strong>, depending on the individual risk of disease, other time intervals may also be useful. Children and adolescents should also regularly undergo mouth hygiene.<\/p>\n

During a mouth hygiene session, plaque and tartar<\/strong> are removed above and below the gum line, as well as in the interdental spaces that are not accessible for manual cleaning at home. Tooth discoloration and stains are additionally removed with special polishing pastes. In our practice, we perform mouth hygiene as standard with magnification glasses to be able to recognize even the finest structures.<\/p>\n

A session lasts between 45 and 60 minutes<\/strong>, during which the current dental and periodontal status is determined. In addition, our team will provide you with information on optimal oral hygiene at home.<\/p>\n

Airflow<\/h2>\n

In our practice, we use the innovative and gentle Airflow system. An air-polishing treatment uses a combination of air, water, and a specially formulated powder that does not harm the tooth. Stubborn stains and bacterial deposits can be removed with the fluid jet even in hard-to-reach areas. Airflow can also be sprayed under the gum line to eliminate disease-causing bacteria without damaging the gum tissue.<\/p>\n
