Effective dental care extends beyond simple cleanings and routine checks; it encompasses comprehensive periodontal maintenance, especially after treatment for gum disease. At Lilly Family Dentistry, located at 2100 Indian Hills Dr, Sioux City, IA 51104, we prioritize your oral health, focusing on keeping gums healthy through diligent follow-up care.
After a patient undergoes gum disease treatment, maintaining the results becomes paramount. Periodontal maintenance appointments are crucial, typically scheduled every three to six months, depending on individual needs. These visits are designed to keep periodontal disease at bay and should not be overlooked, even when your gums feel fine. The key components of this follow-up care include:
- Regular Cleanings: Professional cleanings help to remove plaque and tartar that may accumulate despite daily brushing and flossing. Removing these substances reduces inflammation and the risk of further gum issues.
- Monitoring Gum Health: During maintenance appointments, the dental team will monitor the health of the gums for any signs of inflammation or infection. This proactive approach enables early detection and timely intervention.
- Patient Education: We believe in empowering our patients with knowledge. Our team provides guidance on effective at-home care, which can significantly impact the longevity of your gum health. This includes demonstrating proper brushing and flossing techniques.
