Dental Cleaning “Oral Prophylaxis”

Even with consistent brushing and flossing, tartar (mineralized plaque) can build up above the gum line, especially in those hard-to-reach spots. Our routine dental cleanings, usually scheduled every 3 to 6 months and paired with a thorough dentist examination, include tooth scaling and polishing. If there's a notable amount of tartar buildup, we may suggest debridement. And if plaque extends beyond the gum line, additional treatment like scaling and root planning (SRP) might be recommended. With our advanced cleaning method, Kavo ProphyFlex, we're able to deliver thorough cleaning and precision, particularly in tight pockets and grooves.
