Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a chronic condition that requires more than one-time treatment. Even after successful scaling, patients remain at increased risk for reinfection without routine maintenance. Periodontal therapy programs are designed to manage that risk through scheduled visits that go beyond the scope of standard dental cleanings.
These visits include deep cleaning of the gum pockets, careful monitoring of periodontal pocket depths, removal of plaque and calculus below the gumline, and assessment of inflammation or bleeding. Patients enrolled in these programs typically visit the dentist every 3–4 months, allowing for early detection of any changes in gum health and timely intervention if needed.
By tailoring care to each patient’s individual risk factors and treatment history, Tryon Family Dentistry helps patients maintain gum stability, reduce inflammation, and avoid the progression of disease that can lead to tooth loss or the need for surgical intervention. These maintenance visits also support overall health, as gum disease has been linked to conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and other inflammatory disorders.
Serving both Raleigh and Zebulon, Tryon Family Dentistry offers comprehensive periodontal care, from initial therapy to ongoing maintenance, with a focus on prevention and personalized care.
