Prophylaxis: Enhance Your Dental Cleaning in Largo, FL

Prophylaxis means an action taken to prevent disease and therefore, oral prophylaxis includes dental procedures and measures that ensure that your teeth and gums remain strong and healthy for as long as possible.
Tooth brushing and flossing prevent tooth decay as well as gum diseases by the prevention of plaque accumulation.

Dental cleanings are recommended at at least every 6 months as a preventative measure, to maintain good oral health and avoid developing oral conditions such as gingivitis or periodontal disease.
During your prophylaxis cleaning you will get removal plaque and calculus that has accumulated in the hard to reach areas of your mouth and cannot be removed by regular tooth brushing or flossing. Teeth polishing is done to smoothen out the tooth surface that has been roughened by plaque or calculus removal.

Scaling and Root Planing

Scaling and Root Planing is generally done once preventative measures are not enough and the patient has developed periodontal conditions such as Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease.
When do you need it?
