Prophylaxis Tools – Affordable Dental Supplies

What is Prophylaxis?

Prophylaxis refers to the prevention, early detection, and timely treatment of diseases. In dentistry, the main focus is on maintaining oral health.

To clearly illustrate jaw and tooth structure or the human skull, we offer tooth models. These models allow you to show patients or trainees the structure of the masticatory muscles—here, the skull model with masticatory muscles is recommended. You can also explain the development and progression of caries or gum disease. The models demonstrate the growth of human dentition from primary to permanent teeth.

At-Home Prophylaxis Measures

The foundation for healthy teeth and gums is daily oral care at home. This should begin in children as soon as the first tooth appears. Brushing thoroughly twice a day and cleaning hard-to-reach interdental spaces with small brushes (interdental brushes) significantly improves oral hygiene and reduces the risk of gum disease and cavities. Plaque that is not removed over time hardens into tartar, which cannot be removed with a toothbrush and requires ultrasonic removal in the dental practice.

For thorough tooth cleaning, Praxisdienst offers a wide range of toothbrushes, including the Green Clean Toothbrush, baby toothbrushes, toothpaste, dental floss, and many other oral care products.

Professional Dental Cleaning at the Dentist

If bacterial plaque is not completely removed, it hardens into tartar, which can only be removed at the dental practice—often during routine check-ups.

Professional dental cleaning involves multiple steps and takes longer than standard tartar removal. During a professional cleaning, all soft and hard deposits, as well as dark stains and discoloration, are removed, and interdental spaces are cleaned. Afterward, the teeth are polished smooth with a small brush and polishing paste, preventing new bacterial deposits and stains. Finally, fluoride is applied to protect and harden the enamel. Patients should plan approximately 30–40 minutes for the entire procedure.

For professional dental cleaning, polishing brushes and scalers are required. Praxisdienst offers a wide selection of scalers in different designs, so the optimal instrument is available for every area.

We also offer disposable toothbrushes with integrated toothpaste, hygienically individually packaged. Dental floss, coated strips, mouth rinses, and polishing pastes are also available in this category.

Highly effective products for desensitization and deep fluoride treatment for sensitive teeth, as well as materials for fissure sealing, are offered in large selection at attractive prices.

Praxisdienst provides everything needed for successful prophylaxis treatments. Helpful information and interesting products for maintaining oral health, mouth rinses, or patient education are summarized in our Oral Hygiene section.
