Periodontal Maintenance at A Perfect Smile
DENTIST IN MIRAMAR, FL
Periodontal maintenance is a specialized dental cleaning service designed for patients who have previously undergone treatment for gum disease, such as scaling and root planing. The goal of periodontal maintenance is to keep the gums healthy and prevent further progression of gum disease. This procedure includes deeper cleaning around the teeth and gums to remove plaque and tartar that may have accumulated beneath the gumline, preventing future infections and issues.
Benefits of Periodontal Maintenance
Periodontal maintenance protects your gums and teeth from bacteria that can cause gum disease or tooth loss. It helps prevent gum disease recurrence, reduces inflammation, bleeding, and discomfort, and maintains healthy teeth and gums. By removing bacteria and tartar buildup, it improves overall oral health and reduces the risk of tooth loss. Additionally, it enhances your smile and boosts confidence by keeping your gums in excellent condition.
