🇨🇭 GBT: A Step Above Regular Scaling

Frequently Asked Questions – Dental Hygiene & Scaling
How much does scaling cost in Switzerland?
At our practice, scaling starts from 102.75 CHF for children/teens, 149.95 CHF with our prophylaxis assistant (60 min), and 183.15 CHF with our dental hygienist (60 min). We apply official Swiss DENTOTAR® rates with full transparency.
How to treat bad breath (halitosis)?
Bad breath is often caused by bacteria accumulated under the gums and on the tongue. Professional scaling by a dental hygienist eliminates these bacteria. Our GBT protocol with AIRFLOW® also removes biofilm and stains, significantly improving breath freshness.
At what age should checkups begin?
From the appearance of the first baby teeth, around 6 months, it is advisable to brush the teeth. Early visits from 2-3 years help children get used to the dental environment and prevent early cavities.
Do cleanings damage enamel?
No, modern professional techniques are perfectly safe and even strengthen enamel thanks to fluoride application. We use proven GBT® protocols and state-of-the-art equipment such as the AIRFLOW® PROPHYLAXIS MASTER.
What to do between visits?
Maintain rigorous hygiene: brush twice a day, use dental floss daily, eat a balanced diet, and limit sugar.
