Periodontal Maintenance

What Is Periodontal Maintenance?

Periodontal maintenance is a specialized deep-cleaning treatment designed for patients with a history of gum disease (periodontitis). It helps prevent infection, control bacteria, and maintain healthy gums by providing regular professional cleanings beyond routine dental care. This treatment is essential for stopping gum disease from progressing and protecting your teeth and overall health.
