Teeth Cleaning (Prophylaxis)artistic positioning of toothpaste and toothbrush

Teeth cleaning, or dental prophylaxis, is a vital treatment for maintaining oral health and preventing gum disease. Here’s why it’s important:

  • Plaque Removal: Even with regular brushing and flossing, some plaque and tartar can remain, leading to serious periodontal issues. Our skilled dental team uses specialized tools to remove these harmful buildups.

  • Healthier Smile: Prophylaxis effectively eliminates stains, enhancing the appearance of your smile.

  • Fresher Breath: Regular cleaning helps combat bad breath, often caused by bacteria and food particles trapped below the gum line.

We recommend prophylaxis twice a year for optimal prevention, or every 3-4 months for those with periodontitis. While gum disease can’t be completely reversed, regular cleanings with Dr. Chao or Dr. Nguyen can effectively halt its progression.
