What is Dental Prophylaxis?

Dental Prophylaxis is a preventive and routine procedure in dental medicine that involves scaling and polishing. In this dental appointment, your mouth will also be inspected for any signs of oral health problems.

In the procedure, often the dental hygienist will look at your medical history to assess any changes that may affect your dental health, such as pregnancy, medications, diabetes and other updates. As a preventive measure, a physical and visual examination of the mouth and neck may also be conducted to screen for oral cancer.

Procedure for Dental Prophylaxis

1. An examination of your oral condition will be done.
2. Plaque and tartar around your gum line and in between your teeth are removed with a scaler. This is called scaling.
3. Polishing is performed using a concentrated spray of air, water, and a very fine powder.

FAQ

Q1: I do not have any gum problems. Should I scale and polish my gums and teeth?
A1: Many dentists or hygienists suggest scaling and polishing even if their patients are considered to be at low risk of developing gum disease. The idea is to "prevent" gum disease.

Q2: Will the treatment hurt?
A2: No, but it may cause a bit of discomfort during the procedure.

Q3: Will my teeth become white after scaling?
A3: No, scaling and polishing only removes external stains and the original teeth color remains unchanged.

Q4: Will it harm my teeth?
A4: No, scaling is a procedure performed to preserve teeth and gums, thus no further harm will be done to the teeth.

Q5: Is there anything I should not do or avoid after scaling?
A5: It is recommended to avoid food or drinks that could stain your teeth for 24 hrs after the treatment. Also, it's best to avoid smoking for 24 hrs after getting scaling done.
