FAQs
What is prophylaxis (teeth cleaning)?
Prophylaxis is a professional dental cleaning that removes plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth to prevent decay and gum disease. It’s a key part of maintaining oral health.
How often should I get a dental cleaning?
Most people benefit from a cleaning every six months, but your dentist may recommend more frequent visits based on your oral health needs.
Is teeth cleaning painful?
Typically, teeth cleaning is painless. However, if you have sensitive teeth or gum inflammation, you might feel some discomfort, which we do our best to minimize.
Can teeth cleaning whiten my teeth?
While prophylaxis removes surface stains and can brighten your smile, it’s not a whitening treatment. For more dramatic whitening, ask us about additional cosmetic options.
What should I do after my teeth cleaning?
Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice daily, flossing, and avoiding foods that stain. Follow any specific advice we provide to keep your smile healthy.
