Professional Teeth Whitening
Oral prophylaxis/scaling is primarily a teeth cleaning procedure that involves the removal of tartar and plaque deposits from the surface of the teeth. The hidden surface areas between the teeth and under the gums are also cleaned properly. An ultrasonic scaler, a specialized device, is used to remove the deposits.
Oral prophylaxis Examination
An initial inspection is performed to identify the scope of cleaning required. When only the visible surfaces of your teeth have deposits, regular cleaning or scaling is performed. However, deep cleaning or deep scaling is required if there is a buildup of tartar and plaque within the gums also. Oral prophylaxis is an effective preventive measure that helps fight and control gum diseases and tooth decay. The frequency of a person’s gum maintenance appointments depends on their oral health condition, which will be determined through an initial diagnosis by our dentists.
