In-office teeth cleaning, also known as prophylaxis, is literally the treatment of dental disease. It involves the removal of tartar and preventing other dental problems like gum bleeding, bad breath, and tooth damage. That is why regular teeth cleaning is essential. Aside from professional cleanings, maintaining good oral hygiene also helps to prevent cavities, tartar build-up, and gum disease.
Every time you have your teeth cleaned, you are also screened for oral cancer, which is easily treated if found early. Besides potentially saving your life, regular teeth cleaning will boost your self-confidence because you know that you are free from any dental disease.
