Oral Prophylaxis (Cleaning and Polishing)

Regular scaling (cleaning) and polishing are essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. For most individuals, this should be done every 6-8 months, while those with diabetes are advised to have it every 3-4 months. Oral prophylaxis helps prevent gum disease, removes stains caused by tea, coffee, or smoking, and reduces the risk of heart disease.

In addition, it keeps your breath fresh, enhances your smile, and allows early detection of dental issues before they become serious. The procedure is safe, gentle, and also promotes better overall health, as healthy gums are closely linked to diabetes control and general well-being. Each visit also provides an opportunity for personalized advice on brushing, flossing, and lifestyle habits to help you maintain your oral health at home.
