Periodontal Disease Maintenance

Did you know it only takes 24 hours for remaining plaque to turn into tartar? Regular brushing and flossing help remove plaque and tartar but hard to reach places always require more attention. After your periodontal cleaning treatment has been completed, your dentist will likely recommend regular cleanings around 4 times a year. These cleanings will include:

• Periodontal examination
• Examination of diagnostic x-rays
• Examination of existing restorations
• Examination of decay
• Oral cancer screening
• Teeth polishing
• Oral hygiene recommendations

Proper oral hygiene is essential to keeping periodontal disease under control. Call us to book your next cleaning!
