Periodontal Maintenance Cleanings
After completing your periodontal treatment, your dentist and dental hygienist will suggest regular maintenance cleanings (periodontal cleanings) typically four times a year. During these appointments, your gums will be thoroughly examined to ensure they are healthy. Any plaque and calculus that you may have trouble removing on your own will be removed from above and below the gum line. Your at-home oral care routine will be reviewed and adjusted as needed, and the necessity for diagnostic x-rays will be discussed to meet your individual needs.
