What is prophylaxis?
Prophylaxis is the prevention of the loss and decay of teeth.
Science has proven that proper and regular measures (such as regular brushing, a healthy diet and oral hygiene sessions at the dentist´s) can dramatically improve the health of your teeth.
How do I get rid of plaque?
During a professional oral hygiene treatment, calculus (hard deposits) and plaque (soft deposits) are removed.
These deposits are also the cause of tooth decay and gum disease.
Regular and thorough treatment by our trained staff decreases bacterial deposits and suppresses decay.

Tooth damage by caries can be prevented! - Sputum test.
A tooth´s chewing surface is riddled with microscopic pits and fissures. Bacteria can nest and multiply in these niches. To prevent decay and bacterial infestation, these niches can be sealed.
This method is especially useful for children and adolescents who don´t have fillings yet.
