Periodontal Maintenance

Periodontal maintenance is an ongoing, regular cleaning program designed specifically for patients who have had gum disease or periodontal treatment in the past. These visits go beyond a standard cleaning and focus on removing plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline, monitoring pocket depths, and checking for signs of inflammation. By staying on a consistent schedule—usually every three to four months—you help keep harmful bacteria under control and protect the results of your previous gum treatment. This proactive care is essential to maintaining healthy gums and preventing future problems.
