Prophylaxis (Teeth Cleaning)

Teeth Cleaning IN SARASOTA & SURROUNDING AREAS

DEFINITION

A dental prophylaxis is a cleaning treatment performed to thoroughly clean the teeth and gums. 


BENEFITS

  • Plaque removal: Tartar (also known as calculus) and plaque buildup. The well-trained eye of a dental professional using specialized equipment is necessary to catch potentially damaging buildup. 
  • A healthier smile: Improvement of stain and yellowing teeth.
  • Fresher breath: Improvement of bad breath (or halitosis) that could be indicative of the beginnings of gingivitis or periodontal disease. 


HOW MANY TIMES PER YEAR SHOULD A CLEANING BE PERFORMED?

A prophylaxis can be performed in our office or with your general dentist. We recommend that you make this a routine twice annually as a preventative measure.
