Periodontal Maintenance Cleanings
Once your periodontal treatment has been completed, your dentist and dental hygienist will recommend that you have regular maintenance cleanings (periodontal cleanings), usually four times a year. At these appointments, the gums will be carefully checked to ensure that they are healthy. Plaque and calculus that is difficult for you to remove on a daily basis will be removed from above and below the gum line. Your home care and the need for diagnostic x-rays will reviewed and modified to address your specific needs.
Get a Fresh Smile with a Deep Clean
Periodontal disease is a serious condition that can have a significant impact on your overall health and quality of life. Unfortunately, many people tend to neglect the importance of dental health.
Fortunately, we are here to assist you in achieving a beautiful smile that you can take pride in. If you are diagnosed with periodontal disease, the first step is a thorough cleaning. Our team will remove all tartar from your teeth and beneath your gums.
In addition, you may need to use an antibacterial mouth rinse after brushing to combat the bacteria in your mouth. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary, involving the placement of antibiotic pockets in your gums. Some individuals may also require oral antibiotics to eliminate the disease.
Once the disease is under control, it is crucial to maintain the health of your teeth to prevent the buildup of tartar and plaque. Regular brushing and flossing are essential in preventing tartar accumulation. Using an antibacterial mouthwash can also be beneficial.
Regular visits to your dentist, along with professional cleanings, are necessary to ensure the health of your mouth. We will closely monitor your mouth and gums for any signs of the disease, allowing for early detection and easier treatment if it reoccurs.
