Gum Care & Periodontal Maintenance

If you have been treated for gum disease, maintenance visits help keep it under control. Your dentist sets a schedule based on your gum health and history.

What to expect

1

Check your gums

We measure and review your gum health and compare it with past visits.

2

Clean thoroughly

Your hygienist cleans above and below the gumline where bacteria collect.

3

Set your schedule

Many patients come every three to four months. We will recommend what is right for you.

Every mouth is different. Your dentist will explain your options, timing and any costs before treatment.

Questions

Is this the same as a regular cleaning?

No. Periodontal maintenance focuses on areas below the gumline and is usually scheduled more often than a routine cleaning.
