Perio Maintenance Cleanings
Regular periodontal maintenance scaling is vital to maintaining gum and bone health following SRPs. This procedure includes the removal of plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line, all the way down the length of each tooth to where the root, gum, and bone meet. Rough areas of the roots are smoothed if needed, pocket depths are carefully monitored, and inflamed pockets may be irrigated with antibacterial medicines if necessary.
Periodontal treatment in Centennial, CO is usually performed 3 to 4 times a year, depending on several factors, including how quickly the plaque and tartar accumulate, how much bleeding or inflammation is present, how stable the present condition is, how well you are able to maintain your teeth at home on a daily basis, and any health risk factors you may have.
