Oral prophylaxis (often called professional teeth cleaning) is a preventive dental procedure that helps maintain oral hygiene and prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath.
Keep Your Smile Bright & Healthy
Oral prophylaxis is a professional cleaning procedure performed by a dentist or dental hygienist to remove plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth. Even with regular brushing and flossing, certain areas in your mouth are hard-to-reach — that’s where professional cleaning becomes essential.
Why It’s Important
✅ Prevents gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis) ✅ Removes plaque and tartar buildup ✅ Helps maintain fresh breath ✅ Prevents tooth decay ✅ Keeps your smile brighter and healthier
The Procedure Includes
Scaling – Removes tartar and plaque from tooth surfaces and below the gum line.
Polishing – Smooths teeth to help prevent new plaque buildup and enhance shine.
Fluoride treatment (optional) – Strengthens teeth and helps prevent cavities.
Recommended Frequency
Every 6 months (or as advised by your dentist) to maintain optimal oral health.
