What is periodontal maintenance?
Periodontal maintenance is a specialized cleaning procedure for patients who have been treated for gum disease. It involves deeper cleaning than a regular dental cleaning and is typically performed every three months.
How is it different from a regular cleaning?
Periodontal maintenance goes below the gumline to remove bacteria and tartar that accumulate in periodontal pockets. It also includes careful monitoring of gum tissue health and pocket depths.
How often do I need periodontal maintenance?
Most patients require periodontal maintenance every three months (four times per year) to keep gum disease under control and prevent progression.
Does insurance cover periodontal maintenance?
Most dental insurance plans cover periodontal maintenance for patients with a documented history of periodontal disease. We will verify your benefits before your appointment.
