At Anderson Family Dentistry, we understand that achieving optimal periodontal health is an ongoing journey. After treating any form of gum disease, periodontal maintenance becomes essential to prevent the recurrence of infection and to keep your gums healthy. This specialized form of dental care is tailored to meet the needs of patients who have undergone treatment for periodontitis or other gum conditions, ensuring the long-term health of your gums and teeth.
Periodontal maintenance involves regular, thorough cleanings that go beyond the standard dental cleaning. During these visits, our skilled hygienists meticulously clean your teeth above and below the gumline, removing plaque and tartar buildup that can lead to gum disease if left untreated. We also monitor the health of your gums, checking for any signs of recurrence and making adjustments to your personalized care plan as needed.
The benefits of periodontal maintenance include:
- Reduced risk of further gum disease and tooth loss
- Early detection and management of potential periodontal issues
- Maintenance of overall oral health and prevention of bad breath
- Regular removal of plaque and tartar, contributing to a healthier smile
- Customized advice and guidance on improving your at-home oral hygiene routine
