Signs You May Have Periodontal Disease:
Gums that are tender, red, or swollen
Gums that bleed easily, especially when brushing or flossing
Periodontal disease, or gum disease, is a progressive condition caused by bacteria in plaque. When left untreated, it can lead to the loss of gum tissue, bone, and teeth. While gum disease is not completely curable, it can be effectively managed with proper treatment and consistent care. Periodontal maintenance can help prevent the progression of the disease and support the overall health of your smile.
Regular visits every three months are essential because harmful bacteria can flourish within three to 12 weeks if left unchecked. Scheduling cleanings every 12 weeks allows us to maintain control of the condition and preserve your oral health. To learn more about how periodontal maintenance can improve your oral health and prevent the serious consequences of gum disease, call or visit us today. Our team is here to support your healthy smile journey. 703-583-7720
Unlike routine dental cleanings (recommended every six months), periodontal care is typically needed every three to four months. This is because bacteria that cause gum disease can return within 12 weeks. More frequent visits allow us to stay ahead of bacterial growth, protect your gums, and maintain control of the condition. During these visits, other preventive services—such as oral exams or fluoride treatments—can also be provided to support your overall dental health.
