Dental Scaling and Polishing
What is a Oral Prophylaxis ?
Oral Prophylaxis is a thorough examination of your oral health combined with a scale and clean and can be conducted by a dentist or a dental hygienist.
Reasons to Get Oral Prophylaxis
Most diseases and complications of the mouth can be prevented through proper oral hygiene. This is a combination of at-home care, involving brushing and flossing, and regular oral prophylaxis.
While brushing and flossing will slow the buildup of tartar or calculus, it’s not possible to completely stop their growth. Visiting a dentist to have those inevitable buildups cleared out regularly keeps your teeth in the best possible health.
It drastically reduces the chances of gingivitis and periodontitis conditions which can lead to severe cavities, root canals, tooth extractions and more.
