Besides your daily homecare to remove plaque bacteria, Dr. Rose will recommend the appropriate interval (6, 4 or 3 month) of maintenance care.

Patients with healthy gums require only two cleanings a year.

Some patients will need to increase hygiene visits from two to three or four times a year to maintain appropriate oral health.

Types of Cleanings

• Prophy - an above the gumline cleaning for the patient with fair to good homecare.
• Scaling - a below the gumline cleaning for the patient with poor homecare or deep gum pockets that cannot be reached by the patient.
• Full mouth debridement - involves removal of large amounts of tartar due to poor homecare or lack of non professional dental cleanings.
