The first time you visit us, we’ll complete a thorough initial oral exam, as a good general dentistry practice. This includes a visual exam, charting, periodontal probing, diagnosis and treatment recommendations. We’ll also take X-rays, including a panoramic X-ray to learn more about both your front and back teeth, as well as a bite-wing X-ray.
Put simply, periodontal treatment is your typical cleaning. We recommend that you visit us to get your teeth cleaned at least twice per year to avoid gum disease caused by bacteria and plaque. If you don’t maintain a healthy brushing, flossing, and dental hygiene routine, your gums can quickly become inflamed, destroying bone and supporting tissues around the teeth. This can lead to the need for other general dentistry treatments.
Make sure you schedule regular cleanings to avoid the necessity for periodontal scaling or root planing and scaling.
