Scaling & Root Planing and Periodontal Maintenance: Protecting Your Gum Health
Healthy gums are essential for maintaining strong teeth and overall oral wellness. At Smiles for Every Lifestyle Dental, we provide scaling & root planing and periodontal maintenance to prevent and treat gum disease, ensuring long-term oral health.
Scaling & Root Planing: Deep Cleaning for Healthier Gums
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, occurs when plaque and tartar build up below the gumline, leading to inflammation, bleeding, and potential tooth loss. Scaling & root planing is a deep-cleaning procedure designed to:
- Remove plaque and tartar from beneath the gums.
- Smooth the root surfaces to encourage gum reattachment.
- Prevent further gum damage and reduce the risk of infection.
- Restore overall oral health by eliminating bacteria that cause gum disease.
This treatment is essential for preventing gum disease progression and may require follow-up visits to ensure lasting results.
Periodontal Maintenance: Ongoing Gum Care for Long-Term Health
After treating gum disease, regular periodontal maintenance is key to preventing relapse and keeping your gums healthy. This ongoing care includes:
- Frequent professional cleanings to control bacterial growth.
- Monitoring gum health to detect early signs of disease.
- Preventing the need for invasive procedures by addressing issues early.
- Maintaining long-term oral wellness through consistent care.
Routine periodontal maintenance visits can significantly reduce the risk of gum disease progression and protect your teeth from future complications.
