A dental cleaning visit or oral prophylaxis visit is very commonly associated with the fear of teeth getting weak.In fact it is not so, the teeth tend to become stronger if cleaning is done regularly at 6 months interval at a dental clinic.
When we eat food the particles get deposited and form a thin layer over teeth which is called plaque .This gradually hardens into calculus. This plaque and calculus is a house to millions of bacteria and is the nidus for dental CARIES(CAVITY) to develop. The toxins produced by these micro organisms lead to gum diseases as well i.e swollen gums, bleeding of gums looseness of teeth etc. Moreover as this food decays it produces bad odour commonly referred to as HALITOSIS.

A SIMPLE PROFESSIONAL ORAL PROPHYLAXIS CAN PREVENT THESE PROBLEMS.

IT MAKES THE GUMS STRONGER AND MORE FIRMER, DECREASES BLEEDING FROM GUMS AND FRESHENS UP THE BREATH.



BENEFITS OF ORAL PROPHYLAXIS/TEETH CLEANING

1.Brightens up the teeth and cures BAD BREATH
2.Early detection of dental caries(which at later stages may get converted to deep lesions and the cost of treatement increases many times)
3.Stops gums disease and bone problems.(gingivitis and periodontitis).
4.  Removes plaque which is nothing else but bacterias proliferating in the mouth.

So, an effort as small as cleaning of teeth if done at regular intervals can help avoid many dental problems and make your mouth healthy.(It is the most economic dental procedure which can prevent many major dental problems which reqiure much more expense)
