Periodontal Maintenance Cleanings
After finishing your periodontal treatment, your dentist and dental hygienist will recommend regular maintenance cleanings (periodontal cleanings) usually four times a year. These appointments will include a thorough examination of your gums to ensure their health. Any plaque and calculus that you may struggle to remove will be eliminated from above and below the gum line. Your at-home oral care routine will be reassessed and modified as necessary, and the need for diagnostic x-rays will be discussed to cater to your specific requirements.
