What is Prophylaxis & SCALING AND ROOT PLANING?

Prophylaxis & Scaling and Root Planing are essential dental procedures designed to maintain and restore gum health. Prophylaxis is a routine cleaning that removes plaque and tartar from above the gum line, helping prevent cavities and gum disease.

SRP, on the other hand, is a deep cleaning procedure that targets plaque and tartar below the gum line, treating existing gum disease and preventing it from worsening. Together, these treatments are crucial for keeping your smile healthy and vibrant.

What is Prophylaxis & SRP?

Why Prophylaxis & SRP Are Essential for Gum Health

Regular cleanings can prevent serious issues like gum disease and tooth loss, saving you pain and costly treatments down the road.
During Prophylaxis, your dentist can spot early signs of gum disease or other issues, allowing for prompt treatment before they worsen.
Both Prophylaxis and SRP are designed to be as comfortable as possible, ensuring you leave the dentist’s office feeling clean and refreshed.
Regular deep cleanings help eliminate bacteria and plaque that cause bad breath, keeping your mouth feeling fresh and your confidence high.
SRP is crucial for treating gum disease and preventing the need for more invasive procedures like tooth extraction or surgery.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

IS SRP PAINFUL?

SRP is generally well-tolerated, but some patients may experience mild discomfort. Your dentist can use local anesthesia to ensure a comfortable experience during the procedure.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GET A PROPHYLAXIS?

Recovery usually takes about 1-2 weeks, during which you should follow your dentist’s care instructions for optimal healing.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PROPHYLAXIS & SRP?

Prophylaxis is a routine cleaning that focuses on the surface of the teeth, while SRP is a deep cleaning procedure targeting plaque and tartar below the gum line to treat gum disease.

WILL SRP CURE MY GUM DISEASE?

SRP is highly effective in treating early stages of gum disease, helping to prevent it from progressing. However, ongoing maintenance and care are essential to keep gum disease at bay.

CAN I EAT AFTER A PROPHYLAXIS OR SRP PROCEDURE??

After a Prophylaxis, you can eat right away, but after SRP, it’s advisable to wait until any numbness wears off. Stick to soft foods for a day or two to avoid irritating your gums.

BRAD WELLS

Everything was amazing at trusmilenow, from the check in process, to the hygienist and then the doctor. This place really is top notch and I will make this my new dentist. Edit: they advertised to win a TV if you give a Google review and I actually won. Just goes to show how honest this dentistry office is. I truly appreciate the staff and feel like they are the best around.

The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is welcoming, and most importantly, the dentists are fantastic with kids. They make the experience enjoyable and stress-free, which is so important when it comes to children's dental visits.

CHRIS LEWIS

First time patient. It was very good experience. The staff was friendly, and welcoming. The assistant who cleaned my teeth was super nice, knowledgeable, honest, along with Dr. Stephen Conrad who was informative, and direct, in a good way. Overall, pleased patient albeit a basic cleaning, it was comfortable, and a nice experience considering many are anxious going into a dentist office.

MARK SUMSTINE

The staff from the front desk to the dental assistants are wonderfully kind and engaging. Dr. Sam is a spectacular addition. Just got prepped for a crown. One of the easiest ones I've had done (I think I'm at 5 or 6 now) my dental hygienist Daniel was also wonderful at his job. This will be my dental office for the foreseeable future. You should consider making it yours too.
