Periodontal Maintenance

Periodontal Maintenance is an essential dental procedure designed to keep your gums healthy and prevent the recurrence of periodontal disease. This ongoing care is critical after completing active periodontal treatment to maintain the health and stability of your gums and teeth.

​​

What is Periodontal Maintenance?

Periodontal maintenance involves regular, deep cleanings that go beyond the typical dental cleanings (prophylaxis) that most patients receive. It includes:

​​

Scaling: Cleaning below the gum line to remove plaque and tartar buildup.
Root Planing: Smoothing the tooth root to remove bacteria and promote reattachment of the gum tissue.

Why is Periodontal Maintenance Important?
Prevent Disease Progression: Regular maintenance helps prevent the return of periodontal disease.
Maintain Gum Health: Keeps your gums and supporting bone structure healthy.
Prolong Treatment Results: Ensures that the benefits achieved during active treatment are maintained over time.

Frequency of Periodontal Maintenance
Periodontal maintenance is typically performed every 3 to 4 months, depending on your specific needs and the severity of your condition. This frequent care is crucial to effectively manage periodontal health and prevent disease recurrence.
