DENTAL PROPHYLAXIS “BASIC CLEANING”
Dental prophylaxis is a preventive dental procedure aimed at thoroughly cleaning the teeth to remove plaque, tartar (calculus), and stains. It is typically performed by a dental hygienist and involves scaling and polishing the teeth to prevent the onset of periodontal disease and dental caries. The procedure helps maintain oral health by reducing the bacterial load in the mouth and preventing inflammation of the gums. Dental prophylaxis is recommended regularly, based on individual needs, as part of routine dental care to ensure optimal oral hygiene and to detect and address any early signs of dental problems. Dental prophylaxis is a preventive procedure that maintains oral health and disease prevention to include cavities and periodontal (gum) disease. Oral cancer screening, periodontal assessment, oral health education and nutritional counseling are included.
Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical treatment for gum disease that removes plaque and tartar, especially below the gums. Root planing smooths roots to help gums reattach and reduce swelling. It eliminates bacteria, promotes healing, is done under topical anesthesia, and may require multiple visits. Regular check-ups and good oral care are essential for gum health. Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common but serious infection that damages the soft tissue and bone supporting the teeth. It typically begins with plaque buildup along the gumline, leading to inflammation known as gingivitis. If left untreated, gum disease can progress to periodontitis, causing gums to pull away from teeth, bone loss, and potentially tooth loss. Early detection and professional dental care, combined with proper oral hygiene, are essential to prevent and manage this condition effectively.
