A prophy is the term used in Dentistry for a simple cleaning. This type of cleaning, removes plaque and calculus that is ABOVE the gumline. Any treatment that goes below the gumline, should not be categorized as a prophy. A person that gets a prophy, has healthy gums, little to no bleeding and usually, very little debris on their teeth.
