When your doctor determines that treatment and healing are complete, you may return
to a normal hygiene regimen.
It is important to keep in mind that proper hygiene is essential to prevent a serious
recurrence of periodontal disease. For many patients, this means adhering more
stringently to hygiene practices than in the past, since inadequate hygiene was
probably a primary factor in the onset of the disease.
For these reasons, you should review your brushing and flossing practices with your
doctor and make a long-term commitment to following your doctor’s prescribed
regimen.
If you have any questions regarding the GTR procedure, do not hesitate to discuss
it with your doctor.
