What is Professional Teeth Cleaning?

Professional teeth cleaning, or dental prophylaxis, is a preventive dental procedure that involves removing plaque, tartar, and stains from teeth. This process goes beyond regular brushing and flossing, reaching areas that are difficult to clean at home and removing hardened deposits that can lead to dental problems if left untreated.

The Importance of Teeth Cleaning

1.

Prevents tooth Decay

Plaque buildup is a primary cause of tooth decay. Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar that regular brushing and flossing might miss.

2.

Prevents Gum Disease

Gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease, can be easily treated with regular cleanings. Without treatment, gingivitis can progress to more severe periodontal disease.

3.

Freshens Breath

Bad breath, or halitosis, is often caused by poor oral hygiene. Cleanings help keep your mouth fresh and pleasant.

4.

Brightens Your Smile

Over time, teeth can become stained from food, drinks, and tobacco. Professional cleanings help remove these stains, giving you a brighter smile.

The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends professional cleanings every six months for most people.
