Teeth Cleaning
Dental Prophylaxis
A dental prophylaxis is a cleaning treatment performed to thoroughly clean the teeth and gums. Dental prophylaxis is an important dental treatment for stopping the progression of gingivitis and periodontal disease.
Dental prophylaxis is an effective procedure in keeping the oral cavity in proper health and halting the progression of gum disease.
When Was Your Last Teeth Cleaning?

The benefits of professional teeth cleaning include:
- Plaque removal. Tartar (also referred to as calculus) and plaque buildup, both above and below the gum line, can result in serious periodontal problems. Unfortunately, even with a proper home brushing and flossing routine, it can be impossible to remove all debris, bacteria and deposits from gum pockets. The experienced eye of a dentist or hygienist using specialized dental equipment is necessary to catch potentially damaging buildup.
- A healthier looking smile. Stained and yellowed teeth can dramatically decrease the esthetics of a smile. Prophylaxis is an effective treatment in ridding the teeth of these unsightly stains.
- Fresher breath. Bad breath (or halitosis) is generally indicative of advancing periodontal disease. A combination of rotting food particles (possibly below the gum line) and potential gangrene stemming from gum infection, results in bad breath. The routine removal of plaque, calculus and bacteria at our facility can noticeably improve halitosis and reduce infection.
Professional dental cleaning can be performed at our office. We recommend that prophylaxis be performed twice annually as a preventative measure, but should be completed every 3-4 months for periodontitis sufferers. It should be noted that gum disease cannot be completely reversed, but dental prophylaxis is one of the tools Dr. Bragg and Dr. McTier can use to effectively halt its progression.

I moved to Georgia approximately 15 years ago, I needed to find a Dentist in my area, I did a little research and found Dr. Bragg. I thought I will go and try her but what are the chances that I would like her to stay. Well it's 15 years later and I'm still there, and would not go to any other Dentist. SHE IS THE BEST in every way!!! She is kind, gentle, and thorough. I used to be afraid to go to the Dentist, I no longer am. Dr. Braggs staff are also the best, I love the hygienists, they are also gentle, and the front office staff are always willing to help. I strongly recommend Dr. Bragg, I tell anyone looking for a Dentist to go to her. YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY YOU DID!!!!
