The terms prevention and prophylaxis are often used interchangeably. Since different stages of life require different preventive measures, our dental prevention program is structured in several phases.
1. Primary prenatal prevention during pregnancy
During a personal consultation, expectant parents receive information on how to protect their child from early infection with caries and periodontal bacteria.
2. Primary prophylaxis in childhood
The spread and organization of caries bacteria on the teeth of children who are already affected is reduced or prevented through targeted preventive measures.
3. Secondary prophylaxis for adults
Caries bacteria that have already settled on tooth surfaces are removed regularly to maintain a consistently low bacterial level. Organized biofilms of disease-causing microorganisms are disrupted at regular intervals. Early detection and treatment of minor damage caused by caries help reduce the extent of future therapy and are an essential part of secondary prophylaxis.
4. Tertiary prophylaxis
This phase focuses on preventing recurrence after successful treatment. It includes measures such as caries management following restorations and supportive periodontal therapy after periodontitis treatment.
5. Prophylaxis during pregnancy in Berlin
