Care Who are the partners? Dental health begins with good oral hygiene. This requires professional care and guidance provided by your dentist and dental hygienist, combined with proper care at home by you. That's the partnership. When you follow a recommended home care routine and have regular professional care, you will be able to maintain healthier teeth and gums. Why you need a prophylaxis (professional cleaning) Professional cleaning removes plaque, calculus (tartar), and stains from the teeth. The cleaning may be done by your dentist or a dental hygienist, a licensed professional who performs prophylaxis (professional cleaning) in the dental office and provides education in proper care of the teeth and gums. |
