What is Teeth Cleaning (Prophylaxis)?
Teeth cleaning, also known as prophylaxis, is a professional dental procedure designed to remove plaque, tartar (calculus), and surface stains from your teeth. This essential preventive measure helps in preventing cavities, gingivitis, and periodontal disease, thereby preserving your oral health.
Our Advanced Cleaning Techniques
At Sri Sai Dental Clinic, we utilize state-of-the-art technology to ensure that your teeth cleaning experience is both effective and comfortable:
- Ultrasonic Scalers: Our clinic is equipped with advanced ultrasonic scalers that use high-frequency vibrations to gently and effectively dislodge plaque and tartar from the tooth surface and beneath the gum line. This technology not only enhances the cleaning process but also reduces the discomfort often associated with traditional scaling.
- Hand Scaling for Precision: Following the ultrasonic scaling, our skilled hygienists use fine hand instruments to meticulously remove any remaining deposits. This attention to detail ensures that every tooth surface is thoroughly cleaned, leaving your teeth feeling smooth and refreshed.
- Air Polishing Technology: We also offer air polishing, a cutting-edge technique that uses a jet of air, water, and fine particles to polish teeth. This method is highly effective in removing surface stains caused by coffee, tea, tobacco, and other common staining agents, resulting in a brighter, more polished smile.
- Fluoride Treatment: Post-cleaning, we recommend a fluoride treatment to strengthen your tooth enamel and protect against decay. This quick and painless application of fluoride gel or varnish acts as a protective barrier, making your teeth more resistant to cavities.
Why Regular Teeth Cleaning is Essential
Regular teeth cleaning is crucial not only for maintaining oral hygiene but also for preventing the progression of gum disease, which can lead to more serious health issues if left untreated. By removing plaque and tartar buildup, we can help you avoid:
- Cavities: Prophylaxis removes plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, which is the primary cause of tooth decay.
- Gum Disease: Tartar buildup below the gum line can lead to gingivitis and, if untreated, more severe periodontal disease.
- Bad Breath: Professional cleaning helps eliminate the bacteria that cause halitosis, leaving your mouth feeling fresh.
Comfort and Care in a Relaxed Setting
At Sri Sai Dental Clinic, we prioritize your comfort throughout the cleaning process. Our team is trained to perform the procedure with the utmost care, ensuring a gentle and stress-free experience. We understand that dental visits can be daunting for some, so we offer options such as conscious sedation to help you relax during your appointment.
