Todays goal is keeping your own teeth for life and preserve health of teeth, gum and related structures (attachment, bone, membrane). Professional hygienics and individual cleaning instructions are some of the main resources on your way to reach the goal mentioned above.
Prophylactics also includes the early diagnostics of every kind of abnormalities or diseases. X-Rays are helpful to detect caries, diseases of the attachment (periodontitis) and many other diseases, where some of them can be treated conservatively, meaning without fillings or operations. Also inflammations can be visible on x-rays, which allows us to monitor and discuss possibilities or needs of therapy with you.
