What is Dental Prophylaxis?
Stopping Gum Disease Before It Starts
A dental prophylaxis is a specialized cleaning treatment performed to thoroughly clean the teeth and gums. Teeth cleaning is an essential procedure for keeping the oral cavity in proper health and serves as a vital tool in stopping the progression of gingivitis and periodontal disease.
Professional dental cleaning is the most effective way to halt the progression of gum disease and restore your oral health.
The Benefits of Professional Teeth Cleaning
Beyond Brushing: Why Professional Care Matters
Even with a proper home brushing and flossing routine, it can be impossible to remove all debris, bacteria, and deposits from gum pockets. Professional cleaning at our facility offers several key advantages:
Comprehensive Plaque & Tartar Removal: Tartar (also referred to as calculus) and plaque buildup, both above and below the gum line, can result in serious periodontal problems. The experienced eye of a dentist or hygienist using specialized dental equipment is necessary to catch and remove potentially damaging buildup.
A Healthier Looking Smile: Stained and yellowed teeth can dramatically decrease the esthetics of a smile. A dental cleaning is an effective treatment in ridding the teeth of these unsightly stains, leaving your smile refreshed.
Fresher Breath (Halitosis Relief): Bad breath (or halitosis) is generally indicative of advancing periodontal disease. A combination of rotting food particles (possibly below the gum line) and potential gangrene stemming from gum infection results in bad breath. The routine removal of plaque, calculus, and bacteria can noticeably improve halitosis and reduce infection.
