At Encinitas Dental Art, we emphasize the importance of regular teeth cleanings, or prophylaxis, as a cornerstone of maintaining optimal oral health and preventing the progression of gum disease. Our dedicated team provides thorough cleanings to ensure your teeth and gums stay healthy and your smile stays bright.
The Importance of Prophylaxis
Prophylaxis goes beyond just keeping your smile aesthetically pleasing; it’s a preventive measure against the most common oral health issues:
- Plaque and Tartar Removal: Despite diligent home care, it’s challenging to remove all plaque and tartar, especially below the gum line. Our specialized dental equipment allows us to thoroughly clean areas that are difficult to reach, preventing periodontal disease.
- A Brighter Smile: Regular cleanings remove stains from coffee, tea, tobacco, and other substances, enhancing the natural beauty of your smile.
- Fresher Breath: Prophylaxis helps combat halitosis, which can be a sign of advancing periodontal disease. By removing trapped food particles and bacteria, we can significantly improve your breath and reduce the risk of infection.
