A dental prophylaxis is a dental procedure which is performed with the goal of reducing the risk of gum and tooth disease. Also known simply as a prophylaxis or prophy, this procedure is recommended at intervals which can vary from six months to two years, depending on a patient's history. It is performed by a dentist or licensed dental hygienist who has received specialized training in tooth care.
In a dental prophylaxis, the technician performs both scaling and polishing. During the scaling process, tools are used to remove tartar, plaque, and stains from the teeth, including below the gum line. The polishing process smooths the teeth to remove rough spots which might otherwise attract bacteria.

About
Report
We opened our practice in the area in 1997. At that time, it was located in Lake of the Woods, and had only two operatories. Our present office in Lebec was built in 2006, and we opened its doors at the beginning of 2007. We now have five treatment rooms all equipped with digital x-rays, and other state-of-the art equipment.
