Prophylaxis Services at Radiance Oral Care
Prophylaxis, also known as a dental cleaning, is a preventative dental service that can help keep your teeth and gums healthy and free from disease. At Radiance Oral Care, we offer a range of prophylaxis services to help our patients maintain good oral health and prevent dental problems from developing.
During a prophylaxis appointment, one of our experienced dental hygienists will use specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar from your teeth and gums. Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth and can lead to tooth decay and gum disease if not removed regularly. Tartar, also known as calculus, is a hard deposit that forms when plaque is not removed and can only be removed by a dental professional.
In addition to removing plaque and tartar, a prophylaxis appointment may also include polishing your teeth to remove surface stains and make your teeth feel smooth and clean. Our hygienists will also take the time to educate you on proper brushing and flossing techniques and may recommend additional dental services, such as fluoride treatments or sealants, to help protect your teeth from decay and disease.
At Radiance Oral Care, we believe in taking a preventive approach to dental care. This means that we focus on helping you maintain good oral health and preventing problems from developing in the first place. Regular prophylaxis appointments, along with good oral hygiene habits at home, can help to keep your teeth and gums healthy and prevent the need for more extensive dental work in the future.
If you’re due for a prophylaxis appointment or have any questions about our services, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Our team is here to help you get the care you need to keep your smile healthy and bright.
