Prophylaxis involves a more intensive cleaning routine than regular dental cleanings. Even if you have perfect oral hygiene habits, it is impossible to protect the sections of your teeth that lie below the gumline. Prophylaxis removes the tartar and plaque that builds up below the gumline and in areas of your mouth that are difficult to reach.

Our dentist will scale your tooth and polish it to make it smoother and less likely to attract bacteria and other harmful deposits in the future. This helps prevent gum disease from worsening and begins the healing process to restore your oral health. Our dentist may also take the opportunity to check your mouth for any other problematic developments below the gumline, such as tooth decay.

Periodontal disease can have serious implications for your oral health, potentially leading to gum disease and bone loss if left untreated. At our dental practice, we offer advanced treatments such as LANAP and LAPIP to combat periodontal disease effectively. Our skilled dentist will carefully examine your mouth and assess the severity of your condition. Based on this evaluation, a customized treatment plan will be created to provide you with the necessary care to ensure a gum disease-free mouth. Regular deep dental cleanings will be recommended to prevent the progression of periodontal disease and maintain optimal oral health. Trust us to deliver exceptional care and keep your smile healthy and vibrant.
