FAQ
Questions about Prophylaxis & Teeth Cleaning
How long does dental hygiene take?
Usually about 60 minutes. With a lot of tartar or inflamed gums more time may be needed. We discuss this with you beforehand.
Does it hurt?
Most patients find it easy to tolerate. For sensitive teeth, local anaesthesia or a desensitising agent is possible.
Does health insurance pay for dental hygiene?
Basic insurance usually does not. Some supplementary policies contribute. Please check directly with your insurer.
Will my teeth look whiter?
Removing stains often makes teeth look brighter. The natural tooth colour does not change; that requires whitening.
Will my gums bleed afterwards?
Slight bleeding in the first hours is normal with inflamed gums and usually settles quickly. If it lasts longer, please contact us.
