Periodontal HealthOne of the best ways to keep your gums healthy (not bleeding when you come in for cleanings) is to floss regularly. Whether you floss before or after brushing is less important, so long you floss! Of course, impressing us with gums that don't bleed isn't really the point. Bleeding can indicate a need for improved gum maintenance and oral health habits. Regular Periodontal Checkups Save LivesHave you been diagnosed with periodontal disease? In addition to your regular dental check-ups, it is a good idea for you to also have a yearly periodontal checkup. Once periodontal disease has progressed, it is often a matter of regular maintenance visits to help keep the disease in check. Annual exams should include periodontal charting and comprehensive x-rays to monitor any bone loss that might have occurred. If you aren't sure whether you have gum disease, schedule your check-up today by calling (513) 489-5599 and let us evaluate your gum and bone health. |
