A 5-Step-Guide To Dental Prophylaxis
Your Path to a Healthy Smile
Professional dental prophylaxis is the key to a healthy smile. We’ll walk you through exactly what to expect at your next prophylaxis appointment, step by step.
1. Periodontal Baseline Examination and Oral Hygiene Assessment
We carefully examine your teeth and gums and discuss your current oral care routine together with you.
2. Removal of Hard Deposits (Tartar)
Next, we gently and thoroughly remove tartar, including from hard-to-reach areas. Tartar provides an ideal surface for bacteria and can lead to gum inflammation over time. Thorough removal is therefore the foundation for healthy gums.
3. Removal of Soft Deposits and Active Biofilm Management
We then turn our attention to discoloration and bacterial deposits. These are thoroughly removed using the gentle Air-Flow method. The result? A noticeably smoother feel on your teeth and visibly brighter tooth surfaces.
4. Oral Hygiene Instructions & Product Recommendations
To help maintain your dental health between appointments, we provide personalized tips for your daily routine: the correct brushing technique, proper care of interdental spaces, and tailored product recommendations suited to your individual needs.
5. Fluoridation
Finally, upon request, we strengthen your tooth surfaces with a high-dose fluoride varnish. This protects against tooth decay and can also help relieve sensitivity to cold.
Our prophylaxis team, led by Dr. Laura Krebes, is based at our Dental Wellness location at Gutweg 2, Feldkirch.
