Maintaining great oral health is very important to us. At Jennifer Lopez Dental, we are committed to providing you with the latest dental techniques so you can smile confidently again. Our team performs a prophylaxis so we can keep your dental health in check!
A prophylaxis is a professional teeth cleaning by a hygienist. Plaque is the number one cause of gum disease and affects over 60% of Americans. Plaque is a white, sticky substance that forms on the surface of teeth and along the gum line. This is due to poor oral hygiene habits that causes bacteria to develop as plaque over time.
There are many benefits of getting a prophylaxis such as:
First, we will perform a comprehensive oral evaluation of your mouth and teeth. Then, your hygienist will use cleaning instruments to remove plaque along the teeth and gum line.
Afterward, a gritty toothpaste is applied to your teeth. Using a high-powered toothbrush, your teeth will be brushed and cleaned to a pearly white shine. The final step involves flossing to remove any food particles lodged between teeth.
As your leading dental team, there is nothing short of everything we do. We have a dedicated team who loves enhancing the quality of your smile for many years. Contact us today to learn more!
