If you’ve been treated for gum disease, regular periodontal maintenance—also known as Simply PERIO—can help protect your smile for the long term. It goes beyond traditional visual exams and X-rays to detect hidden bacterial, viral, and fungal issues. Often symptomless in early stages, periodontal disease is frequently associated with, systemic disease states such as digestive disease, cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, or Alzheimer’s disease. The Perio test can help maintain overall health and prevention.
PERIO maintenance helps:
Control harmful bacteria and plaque buildup
Reduce gum inflammation and helps gum health
Helps screen for early detection of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and more
Helps protect the bone and tissue supporting your teeth
Catch potential problems before they progress
Your gums and oral health deserve ongoing care. Staying consistent with your recommended PERIO appointments can make a big difference in maintaining a healthy smile.
