Oral prophylaxsis/scaling and polishing

Oral prophylaxsis /scaling and polishing:

Is a procedure done for teeth cleaning. It removes tartar and plaque buildup on the surface of the teeth as well as those hidden in between and under the gums. In RATNAPRABHA oral prophylaxsis is done under three steps:

• Hard deposits removed with ultrasonic cleaner.
• Hand deep curettage to remove gum infection.
• Polishing is done to leave behind smooth teeth surface so that new deposit does not happen immediately.

We end our cleaning session after giving a demonstration about proper brushing and flossing technique. It is recommended that most patients receive prophylaxis at least every eight to twelve months. Patients with periodontal disease should have it every three to four months.

How will it benefit you?

• Tartar removal: Tartar and plaque buildup both above and below the gum line can cause periodontal problems if left untreated.
• Improves esthetics; prophylaxis removes stains and makes gum healthy and thus gives you gorgeously shining teeth.
