We recommend hygiene visits and periodontal maintenance visits based upon your history of gum disease and dental decay.  If we find that your mouth does not appear healthy on a 3 or 6 month hygiene schedule we may recommend that you come in more frequently to prevent future disease occurrence.  We have patients who are seen on 4 week, 6 week, 2 month, 3 month, 4 month, and 6 month cycles and remain healthy for many years.  We have a strong focus upon prevention of disease before it occurs and will carefully tailor oral hygiene instruction based upon your needs at each visit.
