Dental Cleaning

Dental cleaning, also known as dental prophylaxis, is a preventive dental procedure designed to remove plaque and tartar buildup from the teeth. Dental plaque is a sticky, clear film composed primarily of bacteria and food debris. If not properly removed, plaque can harden into tartar, which is more difficult to remove and can contribute to dental problems such as tooth decay and gum disease.

Dental cleaning is an essential part of preventive oral care and is recommended periodically, usually every six months, although the frequency may vary depending on the individual needs of each person. This procedure helps maintain good oral health, prevent dental problems and maintain a healthy smile.
