Oftentimes patients who have successfully addressed gingivitis and periodontal disease mistakenly believe that they can now simply have an annual cleaning. This is not the case.
Periodontal maintenance is critical in preventing the return of gum disease. While regular dental hygiene is important, gum disease patients must have regular plaque and tartar removal, as well as scaling and tooth polishing to maintain your teeth, and prevent recurring issues. Periodontal Maintenance is normally performed after procedures such as scaling and root planing. Broadway Dental will work with you to determine the best maintenance schedule for your specific needs.
