Dental hygiene

‍

Dental prophylaxis is a professional teeth cleaning procedure performed by a dentist or dental hygienist to maintain oral health and prevent dental diseases. It involves the removal of plaque, tartar (calculus), and surface stains from the teeth, particularly in areas that are difficult to reach with regular brushing and flossing.

The procedure typically includes scaling to remove hardened plaque above and below the gumline, polishing to eliminate surface stains and make the teeth smooth, and a thorough examination of the teeth and gums. In some cases, a fluoride treatment may be applied to strengthen enamel and protect against cavities.

Dental prophylaxis plays a critical role in preventing periodontal (gum) disease, tooth decay, and halitosis (bad breath). It also allows early detection of potential problems such as cavities, gum recession, and oral lesions.

Most dental professionals recommend having prophylaxis every six months, though patients with gum disease or high plaque buildup may require more frequent cleanings. It is a painless and quick procedure, typically lasting 30 to 60 minutes.

Regular dental prophylaxis, combined with good at-home oral hygiene, is one of the most effective ways to maintain a healthy mouth and a bright, confident smile throughout life.
