Once you have undergone treatment for gum disease, it is very important that you keep periodontal maintenance visits to maintain the healthy state of your gum tissues. Periodontal maintenance appointments typically occur every three to four months, and include thorough removal of above and below the gum plaque and tartar deposits, evaluation of periodontal pocket depths and overall maintenance of gum health, among other services. After you have been diagnosed with and treated for gum disease, six-month prophylaxis cleanings simply are not enough to keep gum disease at bay.
At Woodbury Dental Arts, we believe in treating the cause of the problem, not merely the signs and symptoms. Let us help you fight gum disease and enjoy a healthy mouth and healthy body for years to come.
