What is Periodontal Maintenance?
Ongoing Care for Long-Term Gum Health
Description: Periodontal maintenance is a specialized deep cleaning procedure designed for patients with a history of gum disease (periodontitis). It involves removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gumline to prevent infection from returning. Unlike standard dental cleanings, periodontal maintenance focuses on keeping the gums free from harmful bacteria, reducing inflammation, and protecting the bone structure supporting your teeth.

FAQ'S
Frequently Asked Questions
Periodontal maintenance is a series of regular cleanings and check-ups designed to help maintain the health of your gums and prevent the recurrence of gum disease. It involves deep cleaning of the teeth and gums, removal of plaque, tartar, and bacteria, and monitoring the condition of your gums over time.
Typically, periodontal maintenance is recommended every 3-4 months, depending on the severity of your gum disease and your individual needs. This schedule helps prevent the progression of gum disease and ensures long-term oral health.
If you’ve had gum disease, regular periodontal maintenance is essential to prevent the condition from returning. Gum disease can cause damage to your gums, bone, and teeth, so regular maintenance is critical to keep it under control and avoid further complications.
During a periodontal maintenance visit, your dental hygienist will perform a deep cleaning, which may include scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar below the gumline. Your dentist will also check for any signs of gum disease and monitor the health of your gums.
Most patients find periodontal maintenance to be relatively comfortable. If you had previous gum disease, your gums may be a bit sensitive, but the procedure is typically painless. Local anesthesia can be used for more comfort if necessary.
