Oral Hygiene
- Cleanings – Teeth cleanings are important because they help to remove plaque and tartar buildup. It is completely natural for teeth to build plaque and tartar. Too much buildup leads to gum disease and can lead to periodontal disease or bone loss. Your body sees tartar and plaque as a foreign invader, and it begins to attempt to fight it off which results in inflammation and bleeding gums. It is a constant battle to keep the bacteria that cause plaque buildup in check. Teeth cleanings are our first and best defense in the battle. Teeth cleanings help prevent disease in the rest of the body, such as heart disease, dementia, stroke, and complications from diabetes. Regular cleanings are the best way to prevent early tooth loss.
- Perio Maintenance – Periodontal Maintenance is frequently used for patients that have undergone nonsurgical periodontal cleanings known as Root Planing and Scaling. These cleanings are necessary at varying intervals for your specific needs. This type of cleaning is necessary to help maintain healthy teeth and gums after Laser debridement
