Ongoing Gum Health Care includes regular cleanings and exams for patients with a history of gum disease. It monitors healing, keeps harmful bacteria under control, and helps protect the foundation of your teeth long after initial treatment.
You’ll return every 3–4 months for cleanings that target areas where gum disease might return. We monitor your gum and bone health, clean beneath the surface, and track improvements to keep your smile healthy long term.
Ongoing Gum Health Care keeps gum disease from coming back. It maintains gum and bone support, catches flare-ups early, and preserves your long-term oral health. These cleanings are essential if you’ve previously been treated for gum disease.
Ongoing Gum Health Care
Maintain gum health after disease treatment.
Patients with a history of gum disease who’ve completed treatment should consider ongoing gum health care. It’s vital for keeping gums healthy and preventing relapse or future complications.
You’ll return every 3–4 months for maintenance cleanings. Your dentist monitors gum health and gently removes plaque from beneath the gumline. These visits are quicker and more focused than deep cleanings, helping prevent reinfection and maintain long-term gum stability.
Ongoing gum health care is typically scheduled every 3–4 months. Each visit takes 45–60 minutes and includes a periodontal cleaning and checkup. These maintenance appointments are essential for long-term gum stability and help prevent the return of disease.
Even after your gums feel better, the disease can return. Routine maintenance visits every 3–4 months are important. Skipping care or neglecting home hygiene can allow harmful bacteria to cause reinfection and bone loss.
There’s typically no pain after a maintenance visit, but some soreness may occur around the gums. Stick to good home care and keep your appointments to prevent flare-ups and ensure your gums stay healthy.
