I had treatment for gum disease. Why do I need to come in so often?



Gum disease cannot be cured. It has to be maintained. So it is vital that you come in regularly so that we can check on your gums. We will make sure that you are adequately cleaning them. If things start to change then we can address it sooner rather than later. Bacteria takes up to 3 months to start causing damage again in the gum pockets. Gum disease can relapse. It is important to maintain your oral health. In the beginning, you should come in every 3 months. With good oral hygiene, you can extend the visits to 4 months or even 6 months. If you have been treated for gum disease, it is normal to have some sensitivity to cold. Maybe a little bit of bleeding. But if anything persists longer than a few days, then you should give us a call.
