Teeth Cleaning Plantation, Florida

At Dolphin Dental Care, professional dental cleanings play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy smile and preventing dental issues. We recommend prophylaxis (teeth cleaning) twice a year as a preventative measure, and every 3-4 months for patients with periodontitis. Regular cleanings allow our team to reach areas that daily brushing and flossing can’t, helping to remove plaque buildup and prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health concerns. While gum disease cannot be completely reversed, dental prophylaxis is one of the effective tools Dr. Parra and Dr. Vasquez use to halt its progression. Cleanings not only protect your teeth but also support fresh breath and reduce the risk of serious health conditions linked to poor oral hygiene. Our team is committed to providing gentle, thorough care to keep your smile bright and healthy.

Dental Prophylaxis

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. Tartar (also referred to as calculus) and plaque buildup, both above and below the gum line, can result in serious periodontal problems. Unfortunately, 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. Stained and yellowed teeth can dramatically decrease the esthetics of a smile. Prophylaxis is an effective treatment in ridding the teeth of these unsightly stains.
  • 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, results in bad breath. The routine removal of plaque, calculus and bacteria at our facility can noticeably improve halitosis and reduce infection.
