Periodontal Maintenance

After active treatment, periodontal maintenance visits help keep gum disease stable. They are more thorough than a routine cleaning and include re-measuring the gums so changes are caught early.

Reviewed by Dr. Monika Madan, periodontist ·

How often

Professional guidance cited by the ADA Dental Quality Alliance notes that patients with a history of periodontitis are generally seen for periodontal maintenance at least four times a year. Your periodontist will recommend an interval based on your own risk factors.

Shared care

Many patients alternate maintenance visits between our office and their general dentist's office. We coordinate the schedule and share periodontal charting so both offices see the same picture.
