Periodontal disease is seen when some of the bone supporting your teeth has been lost. The cause of the bone loss is bacteria, plaque and tartar adhered to tooth roots. A deep cleaning removes the plaque and tartar. Periodontal maintenance cleanings are done every 3 to 4 months thereafter to keep the affected areas healthy, preventing re-infection.
