A dental prophylaxis is a cleaning procedure performed to thoroughly clean the teeth.
Bacteria from plaque colonise either above or below the gum line causing gum inflammation and irritation which in turn causes bleeding gums. Prophylaxis, scaling or cleaning is an excellent procedure to help keep the oral cavity in good health and also halt the progression of gum disease.
Benefits include:
•Tartar removal
•Aesthetics
•Fresher breath
Prophylaxis is recommended twice annually as a preventive measure.
