Dental Prophylaxis

Prophylactic operations are indicated to prevent dental problems. Several procedures are part of dental prophylaxis, such as:

– Early detection of caries

– Dental sealing

– Descaling

– The cleaning of the surfaces of tartar

– Professional brushing

– Fluoridation

Oral hygiene observed by the patient is also a method of prophylaxis. Nutrition plays a key role in the development of bacteria, so it is advisable to reduce the consumption of sugars and carbohydrates. Smoking and alcohol are detrimental factors in oral health.
