Professional Teeth Cleaning (Prophylaxis)

A dental prophylaxis is a vital preventative treatment performed to thoroughly clean the teeth and gums, halting the progression of gingivitis and periodontal disease.

What is Prophylaxis?

It is an effective and essential procedure for keeping the oral cavity in proper health. The treatment focuses on removing plaque, calculus (tartar), and bacteria, especially those deep deposits that home brushing and flossing cannot reach.

The Benefits of a Professional Cleaning

Plaque & Tartar Removal

Removal of hard deposits (calculus) and plaque both above and below the gum line, preventing serious periodontal problems.

A Healthier, Whiter Smile

Effectively rids the teeth of unsightly stains, dramatically improving the aesthetics of your smile.

Fresher Breath (Halitosis)

Routinely removing food particles, calculus, and bacteria noticeably improves chronic bad breath often linked to infection.

Recommended Schedule & Maintenance

General Preventative Care

Recommended twice annually (every 6 months) for healthy patients.

Periodontitis Maintenance

Must be completed every 3–4 months to effectively manage the disease's progression.

*While gum disease cannot be completely reversed, regular prophylaxis is critical to effective long-term management. We will customize a cleaning plan for your exact dental needs.*
