Adult Teeth Cleaning
Also called: Prophylaxis for adults, deep cleaning
Professional teeth cleaning is recommended every six months to prevent cavities, stop tooth loss, brighten your smile and promote overall health.
At cleanings, your dentist will use the right tools to remove bacteria build-up that your toothbrush cannot get.
For those with chronic conditions such as diabetes or heart disease, it is recommended to have teeth professionally cleaned frequently to avoid tooth loss.
What to expect
The patient will have a clean, healthy and beautiful smile. Dental cleanings are often followed by a fluoride application to help prevent cavities. On occasion, patients might experience light sensitivity that usually resolves in a few days.
