I wrote about the experience in detail here...
http://travelingovereducatedhousewife.blogspot.de/2015/01/my-new-german-dentist.htmlI put it in my blog because a lot of Americans in the Stuttgart area have questions about dentists. Last time I lived here, I went to the military dentist and that experience was like going to a regular American dentist. They also did a good job, but now that we're not military anymore, we have to get care on the economy. We'd have to do that here anyway, even if we were still military, because there's not enough staff to handle things beyond cleanings and simple repairs.
Anyway, what made the cleaning very different was that it felt a bit like a spa experience. The hygienist used a very high pressure water/sand type procedure that blasted my teeth. And when she was finished, she gave me a hot, wet, lemon scented towel. There was also a polish and use of a probe, but it went far and beyond anything I've had done during an American dental cleaning. ETA: Looking at Google, I think it was a salt/water blast technique.
