Prevention is better than cure — this is particularly true in dentistry. With consistent preventive care, tooth decay, gum disease and tooth loss can often be completely prevented. As your dentist in Zug, we support you with a comprehensive preventative care programme.
Preventive care refers to all measures designed to prevent tooth decay, periodontitis and other dental and gum diseases. It encompasses both home oral hygiene and professional treatments at the dental practice — and is therefore an active, collaborative process between patient and dentist.
Dental diseases are primarily caused by bacteria in dental plaque. These bacteria settle on and between the teeth, produce acids that attack the tooth enamel and trigger inflammation in the gums. The more consistently dental plaque is removed — at home and at the dentist’s surgery — the better the protection.
In addition to daily tooth brushing, professional preventive care offers measures that cannot be carried out at home:
Even the best professional care cannot replace daily oral hygiene at home. Brushing your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between your teeth daily with dental floss or interdental brushes — and regular check-ups at the dentist. If you consistently follow all three of these steps, you’ll be well on your way to maintaining healthy teeth well into old age.
We recommend a professional dental cleaning every 6 to 12 months — depending on your individual risk profile. Anyone prone to periodontitis or with an increased risk of tooth decay should visit more frequently. Children benefit from regular appointments from the moment their first milk teeth come through.
