At Chennai Dental & Cosmetic Clinic, we are proud to offer Oral Prophylaxis as part of our comprehensive dental care services. Oral Prophylaxis, also known as dental cleaning or prophylaxis cleaning, is a preventive dental treatment aimed at maintaining optimal oral health and preventing dental issues.
During an Oral Prophylaxis appointment, our skilled dental hygienists will thoroughly clean your teeth to remove plaque, tartar (hardened plaque), and stains that cannot be removed through regular brushing and flossing alone. This cleaning process helps prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues by eliminating bacteria and debris from the surfaces of your teeth and along the gumline.
The Oral Prophylaxis procedure typically involves the following steps:
Assessment: Our dental hygienist will begin by assessing the overall health of your teeth and gums and discussing any concerns or symptoms you may have.
Scaling: Using specialized dental instruments, the hygienist will carefully remove plaque and tartar buildup from the surfaces of your teeth and along the gumline. This process, known as scaling, helps prevent the progression of gum disease and reduces the risk of tooth decay.
Polishing: After scaling, your teeth will be polished to remove surface stains and smooth the tooth surfaces. This not only improves the appearance of your smile but also makes it harder for plaque to adhere to your teeth in the future.
Fluoride Treatment (Optional): Depending on your individual needs and risk factors for tooth decay, our dental team may recommend a fluoride treatment to strengthen your tooth enamel and provide additional protection against cavities.
Education: Throughout the Oral Prophylaxis appointment, our dental hygienists will provide personalized oral hygiene instructions and tips to help you maintain optimal oral health between visits. This may include recommendations for brushing and flossing techniques, as well as advice on diet and lifestyle factors that can impact your oral health.
