About the treatment
Who is this treatment for?
Periodontal maintenance is an essential follow-up treatment for patients who have undergone periodontal therapy, such as scaling and root planing. This procedure involves thorough cleaning below the gumline to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria, while also closely monitoring the gums for signs of disease progression. Periodontal maintenance is crucial in preventing further gum damage and ensuring long-term oral health.
This maintenance is highly recommended for individuals with a history of periodontal disease or those who have undergone periodontal treatments, including dental implants. Regular appointments, typically every 3-4 months, help maintain healthy gums and prevent complications like gum recession, bone loss, and tooth mobility. Patients who stay consistent with periodontal maintenance can also support the longevity of their dental work, including implants and restorations.
Benefits:
- Prevents the recurrence of periodontal disease.
- Supports the health of dental implants and other restorations.
- Helps maintain healthy gums and prevent gum recession.
- Reduces inflammation and the risk of further bone loss.
By staying on top of your periodontal maintenance appointments, you can effectively manage your gum health and prevent future complications.

My daughter's first dental visit was a huge success, thanks to the caring and patient team at SkyBlue. They made her feel comfortable and explained everything in a way that she could understand. Now she's excited to come back for her check-ups!

I was nervous about getting a root canal, but the experience was surprisingly smooth. The team at SkyBlue was gentle and attentive, and they really put my mind at ease. I'm so glad I chose them for my treatment.
