Periodontal maintenance is the procedures and protocols employed to clean and maintain the teeth and gums following a diagnosis and stabilization treatment of periodontal disease. Periodontal disease in not 'cured', only 'arrested'.
The procedures may appear to the patient to be very similar to a regular cleaning, but because the dentist or hygienist must now evaluate, instrument, and monitor the tissues differently and quite often more frequently, the procedures must be differentiated.
"River City Dental is awesome. Friendly greeting upon arrival. Dental hygienist Lisa was very meticulous in cleaning and polishing my teeth taking her time and being delicate throughout the process. Dr. Brenda Paul was thorough in examining my teeth for any issues, which thankfully there weren’t any, and checking for cancer of the tongue and mouth. I received a goody bag of products they recommend. Wonderful atmosphere and staff! Highly recommend!"
