Periodontal Maintenance

Periodontal maintenance is a specialized type of cleaning for patients who have been treated for periodontal (gum) disease already, such as with scaling and root planning (deep cleaning) and/or periodontal surgery. This service is usually performed every 3–4 months to prevent the disease from returning. It includes:

• Deep cleaning above and below the gum line
• Targeted removal of plaque, tartar, and bacteria from gum pockets
• Monitoring and charting of gum health
• Application of localized antibiotics if needed
• Use of LASER treatment locally as needed

Unlike a regular cleaning, periodontal maintenance is part of an ongoing strategy to manage gum disease and protect your teeth, gum, and bone structure over time.
