Oral Prophylaxis/Cleaning

Oral prophylaxis, commonly known as dental cleaning, is a preventive dental procedure focused on removing plaque, tartar, and stains from the teeth and gums. This routine treatment is essential for maintaining optimal oral health, preventing gum disease, cavities, and other dental issues. At Hasya Dental, our team emphasizes the importance of regular oral prophylaxis as a cornerstone of proactive dental care.

When is the Treatment Required

Oral prophylaxis is recommended at least twice a year for most individuals as part of routine dental maintenance. However, some may require more frequent cleanings based on factors such as oral health status, susceptibility to gum disease, and lifestyle habits.

Benefits of the Treatment

Prevention of Gum Disease: Regular cleaning helps prevent the buildup of plaque and tartar, reducing the risk of gum disease.
Cavity Prevention: Removing plaque and bacteria during cleaning minimizes the risk of cavities and promotes overall oral hygiene.
Fresh Breath: Dental cleaning contributes to fresher breath by eliminating bacteria that can cause bad breath.
Brighter Smile: Stains and discoloration are addressed during cleaning, leading to a brighter and more aesthetically pleasing smile.
Early Problem Detection: Routine cleanings allow dentists to detect early signs of dental issues, facilitating timely intervention and prevention of complications.
Improved Oral Health: Consistent oral prophylaxis supports overall oral health, promoting healthy gums, strong teeth, and a clean oral environment.

Duration of the Treatment

The duration of oral prophylaxis varies based on individual needs, oral health status, and the extent of cleaning required. Generally, a routine cleaning appointment can be completed within 30 to 60 minutes.
