 Prophylaxis (Teeth Cleaning)

Dental prophylaxis involves a comprehensive cleaning treatment that thoroughly cleans the teeth and gums. It is a crucial dental procedure for preventing gingivitis and periodontal disease advancement.

Prophylaxis is highly effective in maintaining oral health and preventing the progression of gum disease.

The advantages include:

  • Tartar, calculus, and plaque buildup above and below the gum line can lead to severe periodontal issues. Despite maintaining a diligent oral hygiene routine at home, removing all debris, bacteria, and deposits from gum pockets can be challenging. This is where the expertise of a dentist or hygienist, equipped with specialized dental tools, becomes crucial in identifying and addressing potentially harmful buildup.
  • A bright, healthy smile is crucial for making a great impression. Stained and yellowed teeth can significantly diminish the beauty of a smile. Luckily, prophylaxis is a highly effective treatment for eliminating these unsightly stains and restoring the natural luster of your teeth.
  • Are you struggling with bad breath? Typically, bad breath indicates the progression of periodontal disease. When food particles decay below the gum line and gum infections lead to potential gangrene, foul breath results. Regular removal of plaque, calculus, and bacteria at our facility can significantly improve bad breath and reduce the risk of infection.

Our dental clinic offers prophylaxis services to help maintain optimal oral health. As a proactive approach, it is strongly recommended that you undergo prophylaxis twice a year, but individuals dealing with periodontitis should consider scheduling these appointments every 3-4 months. While it’s important to acknowledge that completely reversing gum disease isn’t possible, it’s reassuring to know that prophylaxis effectively halts its progression. Dr. Feizi can provide further guidance on the best action to support your oral health.
