Dentist Bochum: everyone wants to have a radiant smile without tartar



Plaque, which forms particularly in hard-to-reach areas, hardens and mineralizes over time, leading to tartar. 

The process by which tartar forms takes place in several stages: 


1. plaque formation: Initially, a soft coating of bacteria, food debris and saliva forms on the teeth. 


2. mineralization: If this plaque is not removed, minerals from the saliva - especially calcium and phosphate - are deposited in the plaque deposits. These minerals harden the plaque and lead to the formation of tartar. 


3. tartar formation: The plaque becomes solid, yellowish or brownish tartar due to mineralization, which can only be removed with professional cleaning measures at the dentist. 


Tartar can form both above and below the gum line. Tartar can form particularly quickly in areas where saliva flow is high, such as on the inside of the lower incisors.

Tartar can not only impair the aesthetic appearance of the teeth, but can also lead to gum disease, as it encourages the build-up of harmful bacteria on the tooth. 


Tartar is also a risk factor for periodontitis. If it is not removed, irritation and inflammation can occur, which promotes inflammation of the gums and jawbone recession. This results in periodontitis. 




Regular tooth brushing and professional teeth cleaning are therefore important to prevent tartar build-up. During professional teeth cleaning at the dental center in Bochum, tartar and bacterial plaque are completely removed.

Our Main Areas of Expertise:
Today modern dentistry offers a wide array of different treatment options. To give you a short overview I would like to give you some information of our expertise in various areas.

Oral Implantology:
Dental implants are similar to your own teeth. They almost feel natural to the patient. They also prevent the jawbones to retract after the loss of natural teeth. Dental implants fit very tight into the jaw, improving the ability to chew. Especially when we talk about full dental prosthetics. Dental implants are mostly made of titanium in a very high quality. Therefore, very few allergic reactions in patients have been reported. Neighboring teeth remain untouched, since they don’t have to be prepared. Your speech will not be effected either. Dental implants have a very long durability and most important: They offer you a whole new quality of life!

Periodontics:
Periodontitis is an inflammation of the tissue surrounding and supporting the teeth. Periodontitisis caused by bacteria and is mostly a chronic inflammation, meaning at first the patient does not have any symptoms at all. The only symptom in the beginning is an occasional bleeding of the gum while brushing the teeth. It isn’t until quite some time later in the progress that the patient develops swelling, abscess building and a significant bad smell of the breath.
