When It Comes to Gum Health, Maintenance Is Everything
Gum disease isn’t just about regular cleanings — it’s about consistent, careful monitoring. Periodontal maintenance goes far beyond routine hygiene. It’s a personalized program to keep gum disease from returning and to protect the bone and tissue that support your teeth.
We don’t wait for symptoms to show. Our team takes a proactive approach to keep your gum health on track long before anything turns serious.
What Is Periodontal Maintenance?
Periodontal maintenance is a deep cleaning procedure typically designed for patients with a history of gum disease. It usually includes scaling and root planing, pocket depth monitoring, and bacteria removal below the gumline.
Unlike regular cleanings, it’s performed more frequently — often every 3–4 months — and targets areas where periodontal pockets could redevelop.
Periodontal Maintenance, Done Differently
We know it can feel overwhelming to stay on top of your ongoing care. That’s why we focus on comfort, education, and clarity every step of the way:
- Checking the spaces between your teeth and gums to spot early signs of disease
- Looking for swelling, redness, or bleeding that may indicate inflammation
- Assessing gum levels and any signs of recession
- Keeping track of changes over time to stay ahead of potential issues
Periodontal maintenance is often covered under the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) for eligible patients. And if cost is ever a concern, we’re happy to walk you through payment plan options that make ongoing care manageable. Nervous about any discomfort? We offer sedation for an even calmer visit.
