Dental prophylaxis, often referred to as a professional cleaning, is a preventive procedure aimed at maintaining optimal oral health. It involves the removal of plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth to prevent gum disease, cavities, and other dental issues.

 

During the treatment, a dental hygienist or dentist will clean your teeth, polish them, and may also apply fluoride to strengthen tooth enamel. Regular prophylaxis helps keep your smile healthy and reduces the risk of more serious dental problems.
