Maintaining optimal oral health goes beyond regular dental check-ups. Periodontal maintenance plays a crucial role in preserving the health of your gums and preventing more serious dental issues. It becomes necessary when individuals experience gum disease or have a history of periodontal issues. It is recommended for those who have undergone periodontal treatment, such as scaling and root planing. Regular maintenance appointments at Champagne Family Dentistry are typically scheduled every three to four months to monitor and manage gum health.

During a periodontal maintenance appointment, our dentists will carefully examine your gums, checking for signs of inflammation, bleeding or other indicators of gum disease. Professional cleaning procedures will be performed by Dr. Drew Champagne and associates to remove any plaque or tartar buildup, targeting areas that may be challenging to reach with regular brushing and flossing.

Periodontal maintenance offers several benefits, including the prevention of gum disease progression, reduction of inflammation and maintenance of a healthy oral environment. It aids in preserving natural teeth and promotes overall well-being by preventing the systemic effects associated with advanced gum disease.

Incorporating periodontal maintenance in Reno and Sparks, Nevada, into your oral care routine ensures proactive management of gum health, contributing to a lasting, beautiful smile. Call us at 775-500-0063 to get started on your treatment.
