Periodontal Disease

Our Preventative Plaque Control Training Program

Since bacterial plaque is the main cause of periodontal disease, it follows that most people are not effective and consistent at removing plaque on a daily basis. Since there is no cure for gum disease (because there is not cure for plaque) and since plaque forms constantly on the teeth, whether you eat or not, gum disease can come back if you do not effectively remove all the plaque from the teeth every day. Effective plaque control (oral hygiene) is therefore one of the most important action steps needed to help prevent the return of periodontal disease.

To help you control the disease and prevent re-infections, we have developed a comprehensive preventive plaque control (oral hygiene) training program. This will help insure predictable treatment and long-term success.
