Prophylaxis

Maintenance prophylaxis or as it is sometimes called, a cleaning.

This much-misunderstood procedure is actually the mainstay of great oral health. It is analogous to the regular maintenance we provide for almost anything we own. Our cars, homes even computers

This visit allows the hygienist to clean under the gum line where the toothbrush cannot reach and to access and monitor the health of the gums and the teeth. With regular care problems are caught early and therefore are much less likely to be as costly and involved as if left untreated.
