Professional teeth cleaning (PTC) is an effective preventive measure against tooth decay, gum inflammation and periodontitis. At our practice in Heidelberg, we clean your teeth using modern methods such as the Air Flow technique – gently, effectively and visibly.
Our professional teeth cleaning programme includes:
Removal of tartar and dental plaque
Intensive cleaning of tooth surfaces and interdental spaces
Polish for smooth, low-plaque tooth surfaces
Fluoridation to protect tooth enamel
Instructions for optimal oral care at home
Toothbrushes: The softer, the better. Use an extra-soft toothbrush with a small head to gently but thoroughly remove plaque.
interdental brushes: Ideal for larger gaps between teeth, implants or bridges. Your gums may bleed at first – this is usually a sign of existing inflammation and will quickly subside with proper care.
Dental floss: Particularly useful for narrow spaces. It complements cleaning with a toothbrush or interdental brush.
Oral irrigator: Removes food debris with a water jet, but does not replace mechanical cleaning. Good for closely spaced teeth or hard-to-reach areas.
Sugar-free chewing gum: Helpful when travelling to stimulate saliva flow and neutralise acids. Not a substitute for brushing, but a good support.
We recommend 1–3 times a year, depending on individual risk and dental status.
Not usually. We take particular care with sensitive areas.
The costs are based on the amount of work involved and are usually between £100 and £120.
Many health insurance companies subsidise professional teeth cleaning.
A fine powder-water jet gently removes plaque and discolouration – ideal for sensitive patients.
You cannot reach plaque in the spaces between your teeth and under your gums with a toothbrush. Professional teeth cleaning complements your home care routine.
