Dental Prophylaxis is a set of preventive measures aimed at protecting oral health and teeth from common diseases such as cavities, gingivitis (inflammation of the gums), and periodontitis (disease of the teeth and the bone supporting the teeth). Prophylaxis is an essential part of oral care and helps maintain the health of teeth and gums through simple treatments and hygiene practices.

The services included in prophylaxis typically are:

1. Teeth Cleaning: This is a common treatment performed to remove plaque and tartar that can form on teeth and gums, which are causes of oral diseases.

2. Deep Teeth Cleaning: This is a more thorough treatment to remove tartar and plaque from deeper spaces between teeth and gums, using manual instruments to curette and smooth the root surface beneath the gums when they are harder to clean with regular daily hygiene.

3. Dental Sealants: This is a preventive treatment applied to the surface of molars to prevent cavity development. Sealants provide a protective layer to prevent the accumulation of plaque and food particles.

4. Tooth Vitality Test: This test is used to assess the vitality of a tooth and check whether it is healthy and if there are any signs of infection or nerve damage.
