Prophylaxis (Teeth Cleaning)

Prophylaxis (Teeth Cleaning)

Professional dental cleaning (prophylaxis) is a preventive procedure that removes plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth to maintain oral health. It helps prevent gum disease, freshens your breath, and keeps your smile bright by eliminating bacteria above and below the gumline.

Everything You Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I get a checkup and cleaning?
Most patients do well with visits every 6 months. If you have gum disease, braces, or higher cavity risk, we may recommend every 3–4 months.
Are dental X-rays safe? How often are they taken?
Yes—our digital X-rays use very low radiation and are taken only when needed. New patients often get a full set for baseline; afterward, small bitewings are typically once or twice a year, based on your risk.
Do you accept insurance, Medicaid/Medicare/CHIP, and what are my payment options?
We accept most major plans plus Medicaid, Medicare, and CHIP. We file claims for you and estimate co-pays. You can pay with cash, checks, Visa/MasterCard/Discover, or CareCredit® financing (no-interest and extended plans).
I’m nervous about dental visits—how do you keep me comfortable?
Our team focuses on gentle, compassionate care. We explain each step, use modern tools for efficient treatment, and tailor visits to your comfort level—especially for routine cleanings and exams.
What preventive treatments do you offer, and who benefits most?
We provide cleanings, exams, digital X-rays, fluoride, and sealants. Kids and cavity-prone adults especially benefit, but prevention helps everyone avoid costly problems and keep a confident, healthy smile.
