Why is dental care important?

Teeth are an important part of our body and our health. They not only enable us to chew, speak and smile, but also influence our self-confidence and well-being. Regular dental care is essential to keep teeth healthy and beautiful.

Preventive dental care is a preventive measure that aims to

 

    • avoid or detect dental and oral diseases such as caries, periodontitis, tartar or bad breath at an early stage

  • Prevent dental and oral diseases or treat them early before they cause major damage or pain
  • Improve your oral hygiene by getting professional tips on proper brushing technique, flossing, mouthwash and toothbrushing.
  • Promote your overall health, as good oral health can affect your immune system, blood pressure, blood sugar and cardiovascular system.

The preventive examination or check-up is free of charge for patients with statutory health insurance. This also includes the removal of tartar. In addition, many health insurance companies also contribute to the cost of professional teeth cleaning. You can find more information here

This not only has advantages for your teeth! Because if you go for regular dental check-ups, you can receive an entry in the dental bonus booklet. The bonus booklet is proof of your continuous preventive care, which you can present to your statutory health insurance provider.

If you have had at least four preventive dental check-ups within five years, you will receive a higher subsidy for possible dental prostheses, such as crowns, bridges or implants. Depending on your bonus booklet, the subsidy can be up to 30% higher than without a bonus booklet. This means that you have to pay less of your own contribution for your dentures.

Whether professional teeth cleaning is necessary and advisable must be decided on an individual basis following an assessment and personal consultation. You are welcome to find out more about the procedure, costs and participation of statutory health insurance companies in professional teeth cleaning here.

To make regular dental care easier for you, we are happy to register you in our recall system. This means that we will remind you in good time of your next dental check-up appointment, either by telephone, e-mail or text message. This way, you can ensure that you keep to your individual preventive care cycle and never miss an appointment

We are looking forward to your visit
