Dental Cleaning

Prophylaxis, or professional dental cleaning, is an essential part of maintaining oral health.

For individuals with healthy teeth, we recommend cleaning every six months, while patients being treated for periodontal disease may benefit from more frequent cleanings every five months.

During a prophylaxis treatment, plaque and tartar are carefully removed from the teeth and gums, helping to prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues.

In younger children, prophylaxis is often combined with a topical fluoride application to strengthen the enamel and prevent future dental cavities.

Regular cleanings are vital in maintaining a healthy smile and preventing complex dental issues.
