Why is Periodontal Maintenance Important?

Having healthy gums is crucial for maintaining a healthy, beautiful smile. For this reason, we offer periodontal maintenance at our state-of-the-art dental practice! The presence of gum disease can destroy gum tissue and bone that help keep your teeth in place. Without them, food, plaque, and other harmful bacteria can get stuck deep inside your teeth.

Signs of Unhealthy Gums

Fortunately, you should be able to tell if your gums are unhealthy. They are supposed to be firm and pink if they’re in good shape. Be on the lookout for these common symptoms of unhealthy gums:

  • Bleeding
  • Swelling
  • Tenderness
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Metallic taste in the mouth

Benefits of Regular Periodontal Maintenance

Regular periodontal maintenance is recommended for everyone, but it’s especially important if you’re at a greater risk of developing gum disease. There are several benefits you can experience with this service! Some of them include:

  • Healthy teeth
  • Fresh breath
  • Gum disease prevention
  • Complete smile
