Prevention and diagnosis of periodontal disease

A proper brushing twice a day and flossing daily will help prevent periodontal disease.

A professional cleaning every three to six months, performed by a dentist or a dental expert will remove plaque and tartar on hard to reach areas, and consequently are susceptible to periodontal disease.

During a regular dental checkup, the dentist or hygienist expert inspect the gums and the space between the tooth and gum to rule out periodontal disease. If the signs of the disease has progressed to a certain point, the dentist advised the patient to visit a periodontist – a dentist who specializes in the treatment of periodontal disease.
