What is Periodontal Maintenance?
After treatment for gum disease or implant placement, many patients require a customized periodontal maintenance program. Unlike routine dental cleanings, periodontal cleanings go deeper below the gumline to remove plaque and bacteria that contribute to bone loss and inflammation. Because gum disease is chronic, similar to conditions like diabetes or hypertension, ongoing care is essential to keep it under control. Cleanings are typically recommended every 3–4 months, depending on your specific needs.
What’s the Difference Between Routine Cleaning & Periodontal Maintenance?
A routine dental cleaning is for patients with healthy gums and is typically done every six months to prevent dental issues. Periodontal maintenance, however, is for those with a history of gum disease. It involves more frequent and detailed cleanings beneath the gumline to monitor and maintain gum health.
