What professional cleaning costs
Von den gesetzlichen Krankenkassen werden die Kosten für eine Prophylaxe nur bis zum 18. Lebensjahr übernommen
A professional cleaning takes roughly 45 to 60 minutes. The cost usually lies between 80 and 120 euros, depending on the effort involved and on the practice.
What the insurer pays
German social law sets out which dental services the statutory insurers cover. Professional cleaning is not among them – it is a private service. Some insurers contribute voluntarily; ask before you book the appointment.
How it is billed
Three models are common: by treatment time, by number of teeth, or at a fixed price. Whether an air-polishing device is used can also affect the price. Ask for the scope beforehand – reputable practices state it unprompted.
