What is Dental Prophylaxis?
Dental prophylaxis, also known as professional teeth cleaning, is a preventive dental procedure aimed at maintaining optimal oral health. It involves a thorough cleaning of the teeth and gums by a dental professional to remove plaque, tartar, and stains that regular brushing and flossing cannot eliminate. Regular dental prophylaxis helps prevent gum disease, cavities, and other oral health issues, keeping your smile bright and healthy.

Why is Dental Prophylaxis Important?
Regular dental prophylaxis is essential for:
- Preventing Dental Problems: Plaque and tartar buildup can lead to gum disease, which can cause tooth loss if untreated. Professional cleaning helps remove these harmful substances and prevents gum disease from developing or worsening.
- Preventing Tooth Decay: Plaque contains bacteria that produce acids, which can erode tooth enamel and cause cavities. By removing plaque, dental prophylaxis helps protect your teeth from decay.
- Freshening Breath: Persistent bad breath is often caused by plaque and tartar. Regular cleanings help keep your breath fresh by eliminating these odor-causing substances.
- Enhancing Your Smile: Dental prophylaxis removes surface stains from your teeth, resulting in a brighter, more attractive smile.
