The effectiveness of periodontal treatment depends greatly on the patient’s oral hygiene and care process after implementation. Yet to sustain the results of the periodontitis treatment long-lasting and minimize the disease from recurring again, you need to take the following oral care steps:
Brush your teeth properly with a soft bristle brush and brush gently at a 45-degree angle to avoid horizontal brushing as plaque on the gingival margins and space between the teeth is difficult to clean and easily damage to the gums and teeth.
Use dental floss to clean food between teeth instead of a hard toothpick.
Avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, and high acid foods.
Visit by appointment and scale tartar at regular intervals every 6 months.
