Fox Dental: Where Smiles are Remarkable
DENTAL CLEANING
Dental cleaning, also known as prophylaxis, is a professional cleaning procedure performed by our hygienist to remove plaque, tartar (hardened plaque), and surface stains from your teeth. The process typically involves scaling, where the hygienist uses special tools to clean along the gumline and between the teeth, followed by polishing to smooth the tooth surfaces. Dental cleaning helps prevent gum disease, cavities, and other oral health issues by maintaining clean, healthy teeth and gums. It’s recommended every six months as part of routine dental care.
