What to Expect After Oral Prophylaxis
Pre-Op (Before Treatment):
Before oral prophylaxis, the dentist examines your teeth and gums to check for plaque, tartar, and gum health, and explains the cleaning procedure to ensure a safe and comfortable treatment.
Post-Op (After Treatment):
After the procedure, your teeth will feel cleaner and smoother, and you may experience mild sensitivity for a short time while your gums adjust to the deep cleaning.
1 Month After Treatment:
Within a month, your gums usually become healthier with reduced plaque buildup, and maintaining proper brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups helps keep your teeth clean and strong.
