Deep Dental Cleanings in Raleigh, NC

At Red Oak Dentistry, we prioritize preventive care to maintain your oral health and overall wellbeing. Prophylaxis cleaning, a routine yet thorough cleaning, helps remove plaque and tartar, which can contribute to dental decay and gum disease. Dr. Michael King and our skilled team are committed to making this process comfortable and effective, ensuring your teeth and gums stay healthy.

Benefits of Prophylaxis Cleaning

A regular prophylaxis cleaning is an essential part of preventive dental care, providing numerous benefits for maintaining your oral and general health:

  • Prevents Gum Disease: Professional cleanings remove plaque and bacteria that daily brushing and flossing may miss, reducing the risk of gingivitis and periodontitis.
  • Reduces Tooth Decay: Removing hardened tartar from teeth lowers the chances of developing cavities and other decay-related issues.
  • Improves Oral Aesthetics: Cleanings help eliminate surface stains and keep teeth looking bright and polished.
  • Supports Overall Health: Regular cleanings may reduce risks of other health issues linked to poor oral hygiene, including cardiovascular conditions.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Our friendly and experienced team ensures that your prophylaxis cleaning experience is thorough and tailored to your comfort. Our dentist will begin with an examination of your mouth to identify any areas of concern. Next, we will use specialized tools to gently remove plaque and tartar buildup from the teeth, including difficult-to-reach areas. Finally, we polish and floss your teeth to give them a smooth, refreshed feel and we may offer personalized oral hygiene advice to support your at-home care routine.

Regular prophylaxis cleanings provide a foundation for long-term dental health. Scheduling cleanings every six months helps us keep your smile healthy and gives our team the chance to address any emerging issues early on.
