Periodontal Maintenance is instituted following periodontal therapy. Frequency is dependent on the severity of your disease and how effective your home care is.
The focus of periodontal maintenance is to prevent further disease progression, with particular attention paid to the space between the tooth and the gum, the root of the tooth, and the supporting bone. This is the site where periodontal disease begins and advances. If the disease is controlled in the early phase, this procedure and effective home care will reverse the process.
