Oral prophylaxis, also known as dental prophylaxis or teeth cleaning, is a preventive dental treatment that aims to remove plaque, tartar, and stains from teeth to maintain good oral health.
Frequency
The frequency of oral prophylaxis depends on individual needs, but typically:
1. Every 6 months: For most patients, a routine oral prophylaxis is recommended every 6 months.
2. More frequently: Patients with a history of gum disease or other oral health issues may need more frequent oral prophylaxis.
3. Less frequently: Patients with good oral health and a low risk of oral health issues may need less frequent oral prophylaxis.
