What Is Dental Hygiene and Periodontal Care?
Dental hygiene and periodontal care focus on preventing, diagnosing, and managing gum disease while maintaining the health of teeth and supporting structures. Routine cleanings, comprehensive exams, and periodontal maintenance appointments play a critical role in protecting against tooth decay, gum inflammation, and bone loss.
At Scottsdale Elite Dentistry, preventive care is proactive and personalized, designed to support long-term oral stability rather than reactive treatment.
The Importance of Healthy Gums
Gum health is closely connected to overall oral health. When plaque and bacteria accumulate along the gumline, they can cause inflammation, bleeding, and infection. Left untreated, gum disease can progress and lead to bone loss, tooth mobility, and tooth loss.
Maintaining healthy gums helps:
- Prevent gum disease and infection
- Protect jawbone and tooth stability
- Reduce inflammation and bleeding
- Support overall oral health
- Enhance the longevity of dental restorations
Healthy gums provide the foundation for a strong, confident smile.
