What is Periodontal Maintenance?

Periodontal maintenance is a specialized dental cleaning designed for clients who have completed gum disease treatment. These visits happen every three to four months to clean the deeper gum pockets where bacteria can hide and cause problems.

Why More Frequent Cleanings are Needed After Gum Disease

Standard six-month cleanings don’t provide enough protection once you’ve had gum disease. Your gums are more vulnerable so periodontal maintenance visits every 90 to 120 days help keep bacteria under control and protect your bone and tissue health.
