Periodontal care manages inflammation and loss of tooth-supporting tissues. Cleaning, home care and reassessment come before deciding whether surgery or other treatment is needed.

Planning your care

Ask the treating service for a written plan. Appointment numbers and time away depend on the procedure, results and individual needs.

  • What examination is needed before treatment, and are staged procedures or treatment of both sides planned?
  • Ask for separate dates for treatment, healing reviews, adjustments and any final restoration or device fitting.
  • Which restrictions and follow-up arrangements apply before travelling or returning to normal activities?
