MORE FREQUENT RECALL/ PERIO MAINTENANCE
If you are one of the 7 out of 10 people who have been affected by gum disease, a more frequent cleaning schedule may have been recommended to you. This is suggested to help you maintain healthy gum and bone which is the support for your teeth.
Chronic inflammation that is associated with bone and eventually tooth loss is better controlled by removing the bacteria on a ninety day schedule. Research has shown that after ninety days, the bacteria colonizes on the roots, and in the periodontal pockets (any measurement 4mm and greater during a PERIODONTAL EXAM). This leads to a more serious inflammatory response and bone loss.
The foundation of a great smile is healthy gums, proper maintenance by the dental hygienist on a timely basis and excellent daily hygiene by the patient.
