For patients who have undergone treatment for gum disease, ongoing periodontal maintenance is essential to keep gums healthy and prevent disease recurrence. Dr. Neha Agarwal offers comprehensive periodontal maintenance services to support lasting gum health and overall wellbeing.
Why Periodontal Maintenance Matters
Periodontal maintenance is a deep-cleaning procedure designed to address the unique needs of patients with a history of gum disease. Unlike standard cleanings, this process focuses on eliminating bacteria and plaque below the gumline to maintain the progress achieved through initial treatment. Our periodontist will assess your gum pockets and thoroughly clean these areas, helping to stop bacteria from re-entering and causing further complications.
Key Benefits of Routine Periodontal Maintenance
Consistent periodontal maintenance offers numerous benefits for oral and overall health:
- Prevents Recurrence of Gum Disease: Regular cleaning keeps bacteria at bay, reducing the chances of gum disease returning.
- Minimizes Gum Inflammation: Frequent care helps reduce redness, swelling and discomfort in the gums.
- Preserves Teeth and Bone Health: Healthy gums support tooth stability and protect against bone loss.
- Improves Breath Freshness: Eliminating bacteria below the gumline also improves breath freshness.
- Supports Overall Health: Good gum health has been linked to benefits for cardiovascular and systemic health.
