A periodontal prophy, or prophylaxis, is a dental cleaning procedure aimed at preventing periodontal disease. It involves the removal of plaque, tartar, and stains from the teeth, particularly from below the gumline, using specialized instruments. This treatment is typically recommended for patients with healthy gums to maintain oral health and prevent the development of gum disease. Regular prophys are an essential part of overall dental care.
