What is Periodontal Maintenance?
Periodontal maintenance is a specialized dental cleaning procedure designed for patients who have been treated for gum disease (periodontitis). Unlike a regular cleaning, it focuses on maintaining gum and bone health to prevent the return or progression of periodontal disease. It is essential for keeping the gums stable and protecting the supporting structures of your teeth.
How Does Periodontal Maintenance Help and What Are the Benefits?
This type of treatment provides targeted care and long-term protection for patients with a history of gum disease:
- Prevents the recurrence or progression of periodontal disease.
- Removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria below the gumline.
- Reduces inflammation and bleeding of the gums.
- Helps maintain stable gum and bone support.
- Allows early detection of any changes in periodontal health.
- Supports fresher breath and overall oral hygiene.
- Protects your investment after periodontal therapy or scaling and root planing.
