What are prophylaxis dental visits, and how often should you get your teeth cleaned?
Prophylaxis means any action taken to prevent disease, and that’s precisely what regular dental exams and cleanings aim to do! Taking proactive steps to care for your oral health and prevent the development and acceleration of harmful conditions (like cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer) is the most effective way to develop and protect a beautiful and healthy smile. Brushing, flossing, and regular dental exams are critical components of preventative dentistry that can monitor bacteria levels to keep your mouth looking great—now and in the long run!
We generally recommend booking dental cleanings and exams every six months for kids and adults, so why not book them at a place that is more than happy to take care of your entire family? With strategic planning, the Amigos Dental Care team might even be able to conveniently fit in parents, grandparents, and kids all on the same day at our Redwood Road office.
Prevention is Our Top Priority
Caring for your oral health is essential to living a healthy life. Daily brushing and flossing are the basics, but it’s just as important to see the dentist regularly for thorough cleanings and exams to stop bacteria overgrowth before an issue develops. Prevention goes far in maintaining perfect pearly whites! At your next dental check-up and teeth cleaning, here’s what you can typically expect:
When you step into our Salt Lake City dental office, we'll warmly welcome you and your family by ensuring you have everything you need (and even a beverage while you wait!)
Periodically, your dentist might recommend X-rays to ensure your smile is healthy and free of tooth decay, gum disease, and mouth cancer.
We measure your gum tissue, "count teeth" for kids, and ensure your smile looks all-around great.
Our caring dental hygienists take teeth cleaning seriously! They will take their time to remove tartar, food particles, and any other suspicious foreign material.
If we sense that you need extra advice on your or your little one's dental health, our dental team can explain what you need to know (in English or Spanish).
After evaluating your oral health and listening to your goals, we'll discuss what will happen at your next dental visit.
