Periodontal Maintenance
Ongoing care that keeps gums healthy after treatment.
Periodontal maintenance is ongoing care that keeps gum disease under control after it has been treated. It involves regular, thorough cleanings on a schedule tailored to your gums. It protects the progress you have made.
At each visit, buildup is removed from above and below the gumline, and your gum health is monitored closely. These visits are usually more frequent than standard cleanings. Dr. Pandya adjusts the schedule based on how your gums respond.
Gum disease can return without consistent care, so maintenance keeps inflammation in check and your teeth stable. Regular monitoring catches any flare-up early. It is how you protect your teeth and the bone that supports them for the long run.
