Plus, it’s well-liked by patients who prefer the Prophy-Jet to the rotating hand piece for several reasons. For one thing, there’s no unnerving sound with the Prophy-Jet — and no vibrations either. Even better is the fact that patients don’t experience that icky aftertaste from the sticky paste often associated with prophylaxis. You may not even need to rinse following your dental cleaning!

 
 
Dentists may recommend Prophy-Jet polishing prior to dental bonding or attaching dental braces. Removing dental plaque and debris from teeth will give them a “clean slate,” lessening the chances of trapping irritants under the composite resin or brackets. Before teeth whitening, a cosmetic dentist may use Prophy-Jet polishing to remove surface stains. This not only helps the dentist better determine the natural color of your teeth, but the patient will also receive better results from the teeth whitening procedure.

 

Over time, stains can also form on your dental appliances. The Prophy-Jet can be used to remove deposits from your dentures, orthodontic appliance, mouthguard or night guard. While it’s important to take care of your dental appliance at home, if it starts to lose its luster, you can take the appliance to your dentist for a thorough cleaning.
