What Is Oral Prophylaxis?
Oral prophylaxis is a professional dental cleaning procedure performed by skilled dentists or hygienists. It involves the removal of plaque, tartar, and stains from teeth surfaces, ensuring your gums and teeth remain healthy and free from disease.
Why Is Oral Prophylaxis Important?
- Prevents Gum Disease: Keeps gingivitis and periodontitis at bay by eliminating harmful bacteria.
- Protects Teeth: Reduces the risk of cavities by removing plaque buildup.
- Brightens Smile: Gets rid of surface stains for a cleaner, more polished appearance.
- Improves Breath: Eliminates the bacteria causing bad breath.
- Boosts Overall Health: Prevents the spread of oral bacteria to other parts of the body, which can contribute to systemic conditions like heart disease or diabetes.
