At Crosslake Dental Center P.A., we believe in the power of proactive care, especially when it comes to your gums. Our periodontal maintenance program is specifically designed to prevent the progression of gum disease and to maintain the health of your gums after treatment. It is a crucial step in ensuring the longevity of both your oral health and overall wellbeing.

What is Periodontal Maintenance?

Periodontal maintenance is a continuous treatment plan aimed at managing chronic periodontal disease. It is essential for patients who have undergone periodontal treatments like scaling and root planing or periodontal surgery. This ongoing care involves:

• Regular deep cleanings to remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line
• Monitoring and assessing the health of your gums and teeth
• Preventing the recurrence of periodontal disease
• Identifying and addressing new oral health issues as they arise

Your Maintenance Program

Each periodontal maintenance visit includes:

• Thorough Cleaning: Professional cleaning of your teeth and gums, focusing on areas beneath the gum line.
• Comprehensive Examination: Checking for signs of gum recession, pocket depth changes and any other indicators of periodontal disease.
• Personalized Care Plan: Adjusting your treatment plan as needed based on your current oral health status.

Benefits of Regular Periodontal Maintenance
