01 — Prophylaxis
Professional Dental Cleaning
A professional cleaning — also called a dental prophylaxis — is more than a polish. It's a thorough reset of the surfaces your toothbrush can't reach, performed by a hygienist trained to protect the health of your gums along the way.
- Removal of calculus (tartar) from tooth surfaces and along the gumline
- Removal of plaque, the soft film that harbors bacteria and irritates gums
- Teeth polishing to remove surface stains and leave enamel smooth
