Benefits of Regular Periodontal Maintenance

Routine periodontal maintenance offers numerous benefits to protect and support your oral health, including

Bone Support

Prevents bone deterioration associated with advanced gum disease, helping to preserve your natural teeth.

Inflammation Reduction

Reduces inflammation and minimizes the presence of harmful bacteria that contribute to gum disease.

Gum Disease Prevention

Prevents the progression of gum disease, reducing the likelihood of further oral health complications.

Regular maintenance is crucial for patients with a history of gum disease to maintain a healthy mouth and prevent long-term issues.

What to Expect During a Periodontal Maintenance Visit

A periodontal maintenance visit is a specialized cleaning process aimed at thoroughly removing plaque, bacteria, and tartar from below and above the gumline. Here’s what you can expect

Scaling & Root Planing

Our hygienist will carefully scale away plaque and tartar and perform root planing to smooth the tooth roots, helping gums reattach and reducing pockets where bacteria can hide.

Gum Health Check

We’ll evaluate the health of your gums, monitoring any signs of inflammation, bleeding, or changes in pocket depth.

Personalized Care Plan

Based on the assessment, we’ll tailor your periodontal maintenance plan and provide guidance on at-home care to support your ongoing gum health.

Our goal is to make each periodontal maintenance visit a comprehensive and comfortable experience that supports your overall dental wellness.

Recommended Frequency for Periodontal Maintenance

The frequency of periodontal maintenance depends on the severity of your gum condition and your overall oral health. Typically, patients with a history of gum disease benefit from visits every three to four months. This schedule allows us to closely monitor gum health and address any concerns promptly, helping prevent the recurrence of gum disease and bone loss. During your consultation, our team will work with you to develop a maintenance plan that aligns with your specific needs.
