What we need to know about professional teeth cleaning
(Prophylaxis)
Dental prophylaxis is the procedure of thorough cleaning of teeth. Prophylaxis is an important dental treatment to stop the progression of periodontal disease and gingivitis. Periodontal disease and gingivitis occur when plaque bacteria colonize the gum tissue (gum), either above or below the gum line. These bacterial colonies cause inflammation and serious irritation, which in turn produce a chronic inflammatory response in the body. As a result, the body begins to systematically destroy gums and bone tissue, causing teeth to shift, become unstable, or fall out completely. The pockets between the gums and teeth become deeper and harbor more bacteria that can travel through the bloodstream and infect other parts of the body.
Why should you perform professional teeth cleaning?
Prophylaxis is an effective procedure to help maintain oral health and also to prevent gum disease. Here are some of the benefits of prophylaxis:
​
-
Healthier gums
The accumulation of tartar above and below the gum line can cause serious periodontal problems if left untreated. Even if you apply dental floss, it may be impossible to remove debris, bacteria and deposits from the gum pockets. experienced dentist using specialized dental equipment is needed to detect and treat problems such as the accumulation of stones and plaque.

-
Better aesthetics

Fresh breath

Bad breath is usually caused by a combination of rotten food particles below the gum line, potential gangrene resulting from gum infection and periodontal problems. . Removing plaque, stones and bacteria significantly improves breathing and relieves irritation.
