What Is Periodontal Maintenance?

Periodontal maintenance is a specialized hygiene visit performed every 3–4 months after gum disease treatment. These visits help prevent relapse by targeting the deeper pockets around teeth where bacteria like to hide.

Benefits

  • Prevents progression of gum disease
  • Maintains healthy gum attachment
  • Reduces inflammation and bleeding
  • Customized to your oral history

Gum Disease Doesn’t Take Breaks—And Neither Should You.

Why Frequency Matters

Regular 6-month cleanings aren’t enough after gum disease. Your gum pockets are more vulnerable to bacteria, which is why periodontal maintenance is recommended every 90–120 days.
