What is Periodontal Maintenance?

Periodontal maintenance is a specialized cleaning program for patients who have completed gum disease treatment (scaling and root planing, LANAP®, or periodontal surgery). Unlike regular dental cleanings, periodontal maintenance focuses on areas most susceptible to disease recurrence using specialized techniques.

Once you’ve had gum disease, you’re at higher risk for recurrence. Regular maintenance cleaning every 3-4 months prevents the need for retreatment and preserves your periodontal health investment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Periodontal Maintenance

How often do I need periodontal maintenance?
Most patients need maintenance every 3-4 months. Dr. Corzo determines optimal frequency based on your healing response, risk factors, and periodontal health stability.
Is periodontal maintenance covered by insurance?
Yes, most dental insurance plans cover periodontal maintenance as a separate benefit from regular cleanings, often allowing 4 visits per year instead of the standard 2.
Can I go back to regular cleanings eventually?
Once you’ve had gum disease, you remain at higher risk for recurrence. Periodontal maintenance is typically a lifelong commitment to prevent disease from returning.
What happens if I skip maintenance appointments?
Skipping maintenance significantly increases your risk of disease recurrence, which may require retreatment with scaling and root planing or even surgery.
Is periodontal maintenance different at a periodontist vs. general dentist?
Yes, periodontists like Dr. Corzo have specialized training in gum disease and use advanced techniques specifically designed for periodontal patients.
Can periodontal maintenance prevent the need for more treatment?
Absolutely. Regular maintenance is the most effective way to prevent disease recurrence and avoid the need for more extensive retreatment.
