Periodontal Disease Maintenance
It only takes twenty-four hours for plaque that is not removed from your teeth to turn into calculus (tartar)! Daily home cleaning helps control plaque and tartar formation, but those hard-to-reach areas will always need special attention. Dr. Robert Oliveros in Richmond, BC, emphasizes the importance of professional care in maintaining oral health.
Once your periodontal treatment has been completed, Dr. Oliveros and his skilled dental hygienists will recommend that you have regular maintenance cleanings (periodontal cleanings), usually four times a year. At these cleaning appointments, the pocket depths will be carefully checked to ensure they are healthy. Plaque and calculus that is difficult for you to remove on a daily basis will be removed from above and below the gum line.
Good oral hygiene practices and regular periodontal cleanings with Dr. Oliveros are essential in maintaining dental health and keeping periodontal disease under control. Trust Dr. Oliveros and his team in Richmond, BC, for expert care and personalized maintenance plans to ensure your gums and teeth remain healthy.
