The benefits include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Plaque removal.<\/strong> Tartar (also known as calculus) and plaque buildup, both above and below the gum line, can result in serious periodontal problems. Unfortunately, even with a proper home brushing and flossing routine, it can be impossible to remove all debris, bacteria, and deposits from gum pockets. The experience eye of a dentist or hygienist using specialized equipment is necessary to catch potentially damaging buildup.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A healthier looking smile<\/strong>. Stained and yellowed teeth can dramatically decrease the aestheitcs of a smile. Prophylaxis is an effective treatment in ridding the teeth of these unsightly stains.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fresher breath<\/strong>. Bad breath (or halitosis) is generally indicative of advancing periodontal disease. A combination of rotting food particles (possibly below the gum line) and potential gangrene stemming from gum infection, results in bad breath. The routine removal of plaque, calculus and bacteria at our office can noticeably improve halitosis and reduce infection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Prophylaxis can be performed at our office. We recommend that prophylaxis be performed twice annually as a preventative measure, but should be completed every 3-4 months for periodontitis sufferers. It should be noted that gum disease cannot be completely reversed, but prophylaxis is a treatment that can effectively halt its progression.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A professional teeth cleaning (prophylaxis) is an important dental treatment for stopping the progression of gingivitis and periodontal disease.
