Prophylaxis
Professional teeth cleaning (PTR) improves oral hygiene, prevents diseases and also cleans areas that are hidden from the toothbrush.
Dental cleaning: At a glance
60 MINUTES
Depending on the oral situation, professional teeth cleaning takes between 45 and 60 minutes.
More protection
We prevent dental diseases such as tooth decay and periodontitis by eliminating their breeding ground.
Brighter teeth
Teeth cleaning can eliminate discolouration caused, for example, by drinking tea or coffee.
Goodbye tartar
The toothbrush is not capable of dealing with all stains. Prophylaxis is.

Insured?
We recommend you to ask your insurance company before treatment whether it covers the costs of dental cleanings.
Prohpylaxis FAQ:
Dental cleaning in Berlin – and all other cities – usually starts with a simple mouth rinse to reduce the amount of bacteria in your mouth. Then you chew a test tablet that makes plaque visible. In the next step, we remove the plaque. Thanks to ultrasound, this happens quickly & painlessly.
In addition, our treatment with an airflow powder jet can dissolve superficial discolouration caused, for example, by regular coffee or tea drinking. Hence not only your health benefits, but also your beauty.
Finally, we polish the teeth and strengthen the enamel with a fluoride varnish. And you’ll go home with sparkling clean teeth.
To ensure that your teeth remain healthy for many years to come, we recommend that you come in for prophylaxis between one and four times a year.
Some health insurance companies pay an annual fixed allowance for professional teeth cleaning. To be on the safe side, you should find out in advance how your insurance company handles this.
Brushing your teeth in the morning and evening, including flossing between the teeth, is a must. It is also important to change toothbrushes regularly and to scrape the tongue and the inside of the cheeks – both of which prevent the development of bacteria hotspots.
