What is Teeth Cleaning (Prophylaxis)?
Teeth cleaning, also known as prophylaxis, is a preventive dental procedure designed to remove plaque, tartar, and stains from the teeth. It is performed by a dental hygienist or dentist as part of your routine oral care and is essential for maintaining a healthy mouth and preventing gum disease and cavities.
How Does Teeth Cleaning Help and What Are the Benefits?
Professional dental cleanings offer several important health and cosmetic benefits:
- Removes hardened plaque (tartar) that brushing and flossing can’t eliminate.
- Helps prevent gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis).
- Reduces risk of cavities and tooth decay.
- Eliminates surface stains for a brighter smile.
- Promotes fresh breath.
- Allows early detection of oral health issues.
- Supports overall health by reducing inflammation and bacterial load in the mouth.
