Maintenance Therapy
During maintenance visits, we review medical and dental histories and discuss any new dental problems. This is followed by an intra- and extra-oral cancer screening, cleaning of your teeth with both ultrasonic and hand instruments, polishing of the teeth, and a fluoride treatment. |

The old story goes “you don’t build your house on quick sand.” Thus a proper periodontal evaluation is paramount before prosthetic care is started.

Orthodontic tooth movement in the presence of periodontal disease has been repeatedly shown to cause further gum and bone loss. Before orthodontic care is initiated, especially in adults, it is of utmost importance to make sure the gums are extremely healthy. |
