When Is the Right Time for Periodontal Cleaning
About Periodontal Cleaning
For patients in Cape Elizabeth ME, gum disease can often progress quietly before obvious symptoms appear. Bacteria and plaque beneath the gumline may lead to swollen gums, gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss over time if not properly treated. Research also continues to show a strong connection between gum health and overall health, including conditions like heart disease and diabetes.
At Progressive Dental Care, periodontal cleaning is designed to remove harmful buildup below the gumline and help stop gum disease before it worsens. This deeper level of care helps restore healthier gums, protect the bone supporting your teeth, and maintain a healthier, more stable smile for the future.
