The answer depends on you and the severity of your gum disease before treatment. Generally, the more severe your periodontal disease is initially, the more often Dr. Kharmouche needs to oversee your care. Together, you, your general dentist and Dr. Kharmouche will work out the most effective schedule for your supportive periodontal care.
Your Maintenance Visit May Include:
• Discussion of any changes in your health history
• Examination of your mouth tissues for abnormal changes
• Measurement of the depth of pockets around your teeth
• Assessment of your oral hygiene habits and provision of instruction
• Removal of bacterial plaque and tartar
• x-ray film studies to evaluate your teeth and the bone supporting your teeth
• Examination of your teeth for decay and other dental problems
• Checkup on the way your teeth fit together when you bite
• Application or prescription of medications to reduce tooth sensitivity or other problems you may have.
