Periodontal Maintenance: Preserving Your Gum Health
At Park Dental Care, we prioritize the long-term health of your gums and teeth. Our periodontal maintenance program is designed to prevent the progression of gum disease and maintain the health of the tissue around your teeth. Regular periodontal maintenance is crucial for patients who have undergone treatments for periodontal disease or are at risk of developing it.
Understanding Periodontal Maintenance
Periodontal maintenance is an ongoing treatment plan aimed at preventing the recurrence or progression of periodontal disease, also known as gum disease. This specialized form of dental cleaning goes beyond the standard cleaning that most patients receive and is crucial for maintaining dental health in patients who have experienced periodontal issues.
Benefits of Periodontal Maintenance
Disease Prevention: Helps prevent the spread of periodontal disease, which can lead to tooth loss if untreated.
Improved Oral Health: Regular cleanings and examinations help keep your teeth and gums healthy.
Aesthetic Benefits: Keeps your teeth looking their best and your smile bright.
Early Detection: Allows for the early detection of potential problems, which can be treated more effectively if caught early.
Our Periodontal Maintenance Services
Tailored Cleaning Procedures
Periodontal maintenance involves thorough cleanings that include the removal of plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line. These cleanings are more in-depth than regular cleanings and target the areas most susceptible to disease.
Monitoring Gum Health
We regularly measure the depths of your gum pockets, which helps us monitor the health of your gums and the effectiveness of your ongoing treatment.
Personalized Frequency of Visits
The frequency of your periodontal maintenance visits can vary based on your specific needs, but they typically occur every 3-4 months. This frequency allows us to keep a close eye on your periodontal health and react quickly to any changes.
