Prophylaxis

Preventive care is the cornerstone of maintaining optimal oral health. Our comprehensive dental services include professional prophylaxis, also known as teeth cleaning. Our skilled dental hygienists will provide thorough and gentle cleanings to help you achieve a healthy and beautiful smile.

The Importance of Professional Teeth Cleanings

Despite diligent oral hygiene practices, plaque can accumulate on the surfaces of your teeth and harden into tartar. Professional teeth cleaning removes plaque and tartar, preventing dental issues such as tooth decay and gum disease. Dental cleanings also effectively remove bacteria that contribute to bad breath.

Our dental professionals will carefully examine your oral cavity during this appointment to identify signs of problems like tooth decay, cavities, or oral abnormalities. Early detection leads to timely intervention and prevents issues like this from worsening.

What to Expect During Prophylaxis

Our dental hygienist will thoroughly clean your teeth and gums. Here’s what you can expect during the process:

  • Plaque and Tartar Removal: The hygienist will use specialized dental instruments to gently remove plaque and tartar from your teeth.
  • Professional Polishing: After removing the plaque and tartar, the hygienist will polish your teeth using a professional-grade polishing paste.
  • Expert Flossing: Our dental professional will carefully floss between your teeth and along the gumline to remove any remaining debris and plaque.
  • Fluoride Treatment (if recommended): Depending on your oral health needs, a fluoride treatment may be applied to strengthen and protect your teeth against decay.
  • Oral Health Education: Our dental team will guide you on proper oral hygiene techniques tailored to your specific needs throughout your cleaning appointment.

Maintaining Your Oral Health

Practicing good oral hygiene at home is important to maintain the benefits of your professional teeth cleaning. Here’s what you can do:

  • Brush twice daily
  • Floss daily
  • Maintain a balanced diet
  • Limit sugary and acidic foods
  • Schedule routine dental check-ups every six months or as recommended by our dental team
