prophylaxis.<\/span><\/p><p><strong>Prophylaxis has the following benefits:<\/strong><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Removing tartar<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Plaque and tartar buildup, both above and below the gum line, can lead to serious periodontal problems if left untreated.\u00a0 In spite of the best brushing and flossing techniques, it may not be possible to completely remove debris, bacteria, and deposits from gum pockets.\u00a0 A dentist with specialized dental equipment needs to use their experienced eye to spot and treat problems such as tartar and plaque.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Aesthetics<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When your teeth are yellowing and stained, it&#8217;s hard to feel confident about your smile.\u00a0 During prophylaxis, unsightly stains can be removed from the teeth and the smile can be restored to its former glory.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Having a fresher breath<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Bad breath (halitosis) is often a sign of periodontal disease.\u00a0 The most common causes of bad breath are rotting food particles below the gum line, gum infection, and periodontal disease.\u00a0 Plaque, calculus, and bacteria are removed from the teeth in order to improve breath and relieve irritation.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Identifying health issues<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Dentists are often the first to diagnose health problems.\u00a0 In addition to screening for oral cancer and assessing the risk of periodontitis, prophylaxis can often detect signs of medical problems like diabetes and kidney disease.\u00a0 It is also possible to provide recommendations for modifying the home care regimen.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8a25ea9

prophylaxis during a regular dental appointment or under general anesthesia, if necessary.\u00a0 The latter is particularly common in cases where severe periodontal disease has been diagnosed by a dentist or suspected by the dentist.\u00a0 Sometimes an endotracheal tube is placed in the throat to prevent harmful bacteria from entering the lungs.<\/span><\/p><p><strong>Generally, prophylaxis consists of several stages:<\/strong><\/p><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Subgingival cleaning<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> For patients with periodontal disease, this is the most important step because the dentist is able to remove calculus from the gum pockets and below the gum line.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Supragingival cleaning<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> With scaling tools, the dentist will thoroughly clean the area above the gum line of plaque and calculus.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Root planing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> By smoothing the tooth root, the dentist eliminates any bacteria that may remain.\u00a0 Periodontitis sufferers are at risk from these bacteria, so eliminating them is one of the dentist&#8217;s highest priorities.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Medication<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> After scaling and root planing, an antibiotic or antimicrobial cream is often applied to the gum pockets.\u00a0 Fast and healthy healing is promoted and discomfort is eased with these creams.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>X-ray and examination<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Periodontal disease can be revealed by routine X-rays.\u00a0 An X-ray can be used to assess the extent of bone and gum recession, as well as to identify areas that may require future attention.<\/span><\/li><\/ol><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to prevent periodontitis, prophylaxis should be performed twice annually, but it should be performed every three to four months for patients suffering from the disease.\u00a0 Despite the fact that gum disease cannot be completely reversed, prophylaxis is one of the tools dentists have at their disposal to stop its destructive progress.<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please contact your dentist if you have any questions or concerns about prophylaxis or
