Limpieza de dientes

Profilaxis dental

Una profilaxis dental es un tratamiento de limpieza realizado para limpiar a fondo los dientes y las encías. Dental prophylaxis is an important dental treatment for stopping the progression of gingivitis and enfermedad periodontal.

Dental prophylaxis is an effective procedure in keeping the oral cavity in proper health and halting the progression of gum disease.

The benefits of professional teeth cleaning include:

  • Plaque removal. Sarro (also referred to as calculus) and plaque buildup, both above and below the gum line, can result in serious periodontal problems. Desafortunadamente, even with a proper home brushing and flossing routine, it can be impossible to remove all debris, bacteria and deposits from gum pockets. The experienced eye of a dentist or hygienist using specialized dental equipment is necessary to catch potentially damaging buildup.
  • A healthier looking smile. Los dientes manchados y amarillentos pueden disminuir considerablemente la estética de una sonrisa. La profilaxis es un tratamiento eficaz en eliminar los dientes de estas manchas antiestéticas.
  • Fresher breath. Bad breath (or halitosis) is generally indicative of advancing periodontal disease. A combination of rotting food particles (possibly below the gum line) and potential gangrene stemming from gum infection, resulta en mal aliento. La eliminación rutinaria de la placa, calculus and bacteria at our facility can noticeably improve halitosis and reduce infection.

Professional dental cleaning can be performed at our office. Se recomienda que la profilaxis se realiza dos veces al año como medida preventiva, but should be completed every 3-4 meses para los que sufren de periodontitis. Debe tenerse en cuenta que enfermedad de las encías no se puede revertir completamente, but dental prophylaxis is one of the tools Dr. Wang y Dr. Sol puede utilizar efectivamente detener su progresión.
