What Is Periodontal Maintenance?
Periodontal maintenance is an ongoing dental care program designed to manage gum health after treatment for periodontal disease. At Western Mass Perio Group, these specialized cleanings go beyond routine dental visits by removing plaque and bacteria from below the gumline, monitoring pocket depth, and ensuring the gums and bone remain healthy. This preventive approach helps stop the recurrence of gum disease and protects the results of previous treatments. To maintain a healthy smile and strong gums, contact your nearest Massachusetts location to schedule your next periodontal maintenance visit.
How Is Periodontal Maintenance Performed?
Periodontal maintenance is typically performed every 3 – 4 months and involves a thorough cleaning to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from both above and below the gumline. During the visit, your periodontist or hygienist will also check the depth of gum pockets, assess inflammation, and monitor the overall health of your gums and supporting bone. This process helps prevent the return of infection and keeps the gums stable after treatments like scaling, root planing, or surgery. Regular periodontal maintenance is essential for managing gum disease and preserving long-term oral health.
What Are the Benefits of Periodontal Maintenance?
Periodontal maintenance provides lasting protection for your gums and teeth by preventing the return of infection and supporting overall oral health. Benefits include:
- Removal of plaque, tartar, and bacteria below the gumline
- Prevention of gum disease progression or recurrence
- Monitoring of gum and bone health over time
- Fresher breath and a cleaner, healthier mouth
- Preservation of natural teeth and treatment results
Western Mass Perio Group Reviews
"Went to Nobel Perio regarding a previous implant process that was totally unsatisfactory. This office is the elite of implant specialists!! Although it was a painful process, I couldn't be happier with my "corrected" implant! Very highly recommend!"
"The staff at Nobel Perio are wonderful. I was escorted to an exam room at my appointment time. Jennifer was very professional and explained the procedures to me. She created a treatment plan that we both agreed to. The office staff are great to work with. I am looking forward to continuing with my treatment at Nobel Perio."
"All are very friendly and helpful at this office!! I had many questions that were all answered and my worries lessened. My mom came with me and she said she’s never been to a more friendlier office as she was asked multiple times if she needed anything as a coffee or water. The doctor is wonderful and did an amazing job for my gum surgery. Thank you."
"Always feel so welcomed and everyone is so friendly! Dr Schmidt is knowledgeable and makes me feel comfortable! So happy I go there."
"Amazing, was taken as a new patient quickly, thankfully because I had an infection that needed to be remediated. After my consultation I was scheduled for surgery within a couple of weeks. Very professional care by Dr Salzman and staff. I highly recommend if you need work done!"
