Daily brushing and flossing will keep dental calculus to a minimum, but a professional cleaning will remove calculus in places that your toothbrush and floss have missed. Visit your periodontist, as he or she is an important part of your program to prevent gum disease. We will help customize your plan for supportive periodontal therapy based upon your needs and health. Keep your teeth for your lifetime. Be true to them or they'll be false to you!
