Oral Prophylaxis
Dental General Practice
Dental general practice is a type of dentistry that focuses on providing preventive, restorative and cosmetic treatments to patients. This type of practice is typically responsible for diagnosing, treating and managing oral health problems. This includes regular check-ups, preventive care, fillings, cleanings, extractions, sterilization, crowns and bridges, root canals, and more. In some cases, a dental general practice may provide orthodontic services.
General Practice
Oral prophylaxis
The dental hygienist will use a small mirror to examine the teeth and gums for any signs of plaque, tartar, or other issues.
Next, the hygienist will use a small, handheld instrument called a scaler to remove plaque and tartar from the teeth.
After scaling, the hygienist will use a rotating brush and toothpaste to polish the teeth, removing any remaining plaque and stains.
Finally, the hygienist may floss the teeth and apply fluoride to help strengthen the enamel and prevent cavities.
Oral prophylaxis is usually done every six months and it is important as it helps remove plaque and tartar buildup, preventing tooth decay and gum disease.
