Periodontal maintenance cleanings
Periodontal maintenance cleanings are basically a preventive measure that would keep your gum health in a good shape. When you have periodontal disease, the dentist would initially suggest you for scaling and root planing. If required, the dentist would also recommend you for periodontal surgery. A series of cleaning procedures are followed after this which are known as periodontal maintenance cleanings.
It is much deeper than a normal cleaning that takes place in a dental office. People who have gum diseases tend to develop pockets which can be very harmful. Pockets are basically small holes between gums and teeth where tartar and plaque are formed. The periodontal cleaning procedures maintain the gum and bone health and that is why they are very important.
Why it is important?
Along with the fact that these deep cleaning procedures would improve the oral conditions, the treatment is also needed to maintain overall health. Studies have shown that there is a direct relationship between chronic inflammation in the gums with overall health. Bad oral and gum health can cause problems like heart disease and diabetes.
You should visit the dentist at least twice a year in order to ensure that your gums are healthy. If any problem persists, your dentist would take the necessary steps and schedule your appointment accordingly.
