Periodontal Maintenance
Protect your gums with expert periodontal maintenance in Columbia Pike, Arlington VA
Gum health is just as essential as the health of your teeth — yet it’s often overlooked. At Agape Dental Studio, LLC, Dr. Lidia Tekle and our compassionate team are dedicated to keeping your entire mouth healthy, which is why we provide thorough periodontal maintenance in Columbia Pike, Arlington VA to help prevent and manage gum disease.
If your gums are red, swollen, tender, or bleed easily, you may be experiencing signs of periodontal disease (gum disease). This common condition is caused by bacteria in plaque that accumulates on your teeth. When left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss. While gum disease isn’t curable, it can be effectively treated and managed to protect your long-term oral health.
What is periodontal maintenance?
Periodontal maintenance involves visiting our office for professional cleanings typically every three months. During these appointments, we perform a thorough cleaning both above and below the gumline to remove plaque, tartar (dental calculus), and harmful bacteria. Because periodontal bacteria can begin to flourish again within three to twelve weeks, these regular cleanings every twelve weeks (three months) are essential to keeping your gum health stable and preventing the disease from progressing.
Our goal is to help you maintain healthy gums, preserve your natural teeth, and avoid more extensive dental procedures in the future.
Take the next step toward a healthier smile.
