Periodontal Maintenance in Orléans
Long-Term Gum Health Starts with Ongoing, Personalized Care
Once periodontal disease has been treated, the journey doesn’t end it continues with maintenance. Periodontal maintenance is the key to preventing relapse, protecting your teeth, and keeping your gums healthy for life.
At Orleans Dental Centre, we provide gentle, thorough cleanings and supportive care to help you stay on track after gum disease treatment. Our team is here to support you every step of the way with care that’s proactive, personalized, and empowering.
Periodontal maintenance is a series of professional cleanings and gum evaluations designed to:
- Prevent the recurrence of gum disease
- Manage any remaining inflammation or deep pockets
- Remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline
- Monitor gum attachment and bone support over time
It’s more in-depth than a routine dental cleaning and is typically recommended every 3 to 4 months depending on your individual needs.
After successful periodontal treatment, bacteria can still return if regular cleanings are skipped. Without maintenance:
- Gum inflammation can return
- Bone and tissue loss may continue
- Teeth may become loose or require extraction
Regular maintenance helps you protect the progress you’ve made and reduce the risk of future complications.
- Review of your gum and oral health status
- Deep cleaning to remove tartar below the gumline
- Pocket measurements to track improvement or concerns
- Personalized advice for home care and lifestyle adjustments
