  • Removal of Plaque: Over time, tartar or calculus buildup around the gum line and can result in serious dental complications. Even with proper home care, it is often times impossible to remove all debris. Only a professional hygienist & dental specialist can remove all potentially damaging building using specialized equipment.

  • A Healthy Smile: Yellow and stained teeth are common concerns for individuals looking for an aesthetic smile. Prophylaxis properly treats and fixes stains, discoloration and more.

  • Fresh Breath: Halitosis, more commonly referred to as “bad breath” is indicative of periodontal disease. Gum infection, as well as rotting food debris, resulting in bad breath. Prophylaxis allows dental professionals to remove and treat infections and food debris lodged in places that standard brushing and flossing cannot reach.

All Prophylaxis can be performed in-house by our skilled dentists. Here at Personal Dental Office, we recommend routine cleanings once every 6 months, or twice a year. For those who are suffering from advancing periodontitis, we recommend cleanings 3 to 4 times a year. It is important to remember that gum disease cannot be reversed, so taking preventative measures and practicing good hygiene practices is key to a life-long healthy smile.
