Once the periodontal disease has been cured and brought into the periodontal health maintenance phase, the patient should be well trained and consistent in the daily maintenance of their oral health. This includes using the following elements:
– Interdental brushes.
– Dental floss.
– Automatic interdental washers.
– Rinsing the mouth with antibacterial preparations (on the advice of the dentist in VEGA).
Regular periodontal cleanings
Following the rhythm of regular periodontal teeth cleanings, recommended by the VEGA dentist, is very important. These treatments, in patients with periodontopathy, may be needed 2 to 6 times a year, depending on the condition of the disease.
Management of periopathogenic bacteria
Bacteria causing periodontal disease do not disappear completely after professional cleaning, but are reduced to an insignificant microscopic amount. In this minimal presence, the bacteria are not strong enough to overcome the local immunity of the mouth. But when they live longer in the mouth, they multiply and create a biofilm around the teeth. The longer that biofilm persists, the more damaging it becomes to the tissue, which over time cannot resist the harmful substances, leading to new bone and gingival loss, and the tooth loses its support.
Importance of regular maintenance
Regular maintenance is critical to good oral health and includes:
1. Daily proper maintenance of clean teeth.
2. Regular professional cleaning of the teeth from the harmful bacterial biofilm.
By fulfilling these two conditions, even a chronic and progressive disease such as periodontal disease can be prevented.
