Periodontal Maintenance

Through periodontal maintenance, our experts can fend off gum disease, promote healthier gum tissue, and protect the teeth's supporting structures. You can also significantly increase a maintenance program's effectiveness by adhering to a dependable at-home hygiene routine. Your regularly scheduled meetings include helpful suggestions and an assessment of your routine. You can use our wealth of expertise to maintain the health of your smile by collaborating with us.

Even after brushing and flossing on a regular basis, bacterial plaque can still accumulate. Our caring professionals or your regular dentist must regularly remove this buildup to prevent the recurrence of gum disease.

Professional Teeth Cleaning

Dental "prophylaxis" refers to a thorough cleaning of your teeth and gums. This reduces the rate at which more serious gingivitis and periodontal disease spread.

During your routine exam, your dental hygienist might advise having your teeth professionally cleaned. Your regular eating and drinking routines may contribute to plaque build-up on your teeth and in the region around your gums. Therefore, this cleaning may still be necessary even with a regular brushing and flossing routine.

Plaque is the main cause of periodontal disease, which can cause problems like bad breath and sensitive teeth. With the help of thorough cleaning, your dental hygienist can quickly and painlessly avoid these issues. Additionally, you can remove tooth stains for a whiter-looking smile.

For those who have periodontal disease, cleanings should be scheduled at least once every six months (or more frequently as directed). Keep in mind that this is more of a preventative or maintenance treatment than a cure.

Even though your general dentist might offer professional cleanings, it might be beneficial to see one of our periodontists since they are more experienced with the issues caused by gum disease.
