Professional Teeth Cleaning at Lizaso Family Dentistry

Dental Prophylaxis

A professional teeth cleaning, also known as dental prophylaxis, is a vital part of your oral care routine. It’s designed to thoroughly clean your teeth and gums, helping to prevent the development of gum disease, cavities, and other oral health issues. Regular professional cleanings are an essential step in maintaining a healthy mouth and preventing the progression of gingivitis and periodontal disease.

Benefits of Routine Dental Cleanings

Regular teeth cleanings offer numerous benefits, including:

  • Plaque and Tartar Removal: Even with proper brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up in areas that are difficult to reach. This buildup can lead to serious gum problems if left untreated. Our experienced dental hygienists use specialized tools to safely remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line, preventing gum disease and decay.

  • A Healthier-Looking Smile: Professional cleanings help remove stains and discoloration, making your smile look brighter and more attractive. Over time, plaque buildup can cause yellowing and staining of your teeth, but regular cleanings will help you maintain a dazzling, healthy smile.

  • Fresher Breath: Chronic bad breath, or halitosis, is often caused by bacteria and debris trapped in the mouth. Regular cleanings remove this buildup, helping to improve your breath and reduce the risk of gum disease-related infections that contribute to bad breath.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How often should I get a professional cleaning?

We recommend visiting the dentist every six months for a professional cleaning. This ensures that plaque and tartar are removed before they can cause more serious dental issues.

What’s the difference between a professional cleaning and regular brushing?

While brushing and flossing at home are important, they can’t reach all the areas where plaque and tartar accumulate. Professional cleanings use specialized tools to thoroughly clean your teeth and gums, removing buildup that can’t be removed with a toothbrush.

Does a professional cleaning hurt?

Professional cleanings are generally painless, though some patients may experience mild discomfort if they have sensitive gums or a lot of plaque buildup. Our team works gently to ensure your comfort during the procedure.

Can cleanings prevent gum disease?

Yes! Regular cleanings remove plaque and tartar that can lead to gum disease. By keeping your teeth and gums clean, you reduce the risk of developing gingivitis or periodontal disease.

Is teeth whitening part of the cleaning process?

While professional cleaning removes surface stains, it does not provide the same results as teeth whitening treatments. If you’re looking to brighten your smile further, we can offer professional whitening options.
