Periodontal Maintenance

Our dentists and team prioritize the long-term health of your gums through our dedicated periodontal maintenance program. Designed for patients who have undergone treatment for periodontal (gum) disease, this ongoing care plan is crucial for preventing the recurrence of the disease and maintaining optimal oral health.

The Necessity of Periodontal Maintenance

Periodontal disease is a chronic condition that requires continual management to keep it at bay. Our periodontal maintenance program is essential for:

• Preventing the recurrence of gum disease.
• Monitoring the health of your gums and teeth.
• Addressing any new or ongoing dental issues promptly.

What Periodontal Maintenance Involves

Our comprehensive periodontal maintenance program includes:

• Regular Cleanings: More frequent and thorough than standard cleanings, focusing on the areas below the gum line to remove plaque and tartar.
• Periodic Evaluations: Regular assessments of your gum health, including measuring the depth of gum pockets.
• Tailored Oral Hygiene Advice: Personalized recommendations to improve and maintain your oral hygiene routine at home.
• Ongoing Monitoring: Keeping a close eye on your overall oral health to detect and address any changes early.

Benefits of Regular Periodontal Maintenance

• Improved Gum Health: Reduces the risk of further gum and bone loss.
• Early Detection and Intervention: Promptly addresses any signs of disease recurrence.
• Preservation of Dental Investments: Protects the longevity of the treatments you have already received.
