Dental Hygiene and Periodontal Health

Periodontal treatment begins with prevention: regular dental cleanings, polishing and examination of your teeth. We also take the time to help our patients develop proper oral hygiene habits at home. The main cause of periodontal disease is bacteria in the form of a sticky, colorless plaque that constantly forms on your teeth. However, other factors can cause the disease or influence its progression. At your appointment we'll evaluate your hygiene techniques and if needed, make adjustments to your routine.
