Successful periodontal therapy with regular periodic maintenance care can sustain periodontal health and reduce tooth loss.
Following active therapy, an interval is established for periodic ongoing care. Maintenance procedures are performed under ongoing supervision and include:
- Update
of medical/dental histories
- Extraoral & intraoral soft tissue exam
- Dental exam, cancer screening
- Periodontal exam
- Removing bacteria (plaque & calculus)
The successful long term control of periodontal disease depends on active maintenance care through supportive periodontal treatment. A customized program will be "set-up" for you that will allow us to monitor for recurring disease and your plaque control efficiency.
