After gum disease treatment, maintaining your oral health is essential. Periodontal maintenance cleanings help prevent the return of infection and keep your gums healthy. At Caputo Dental, we provide customized maintenance plans to protect your smile for the long term.
What Is Periodontal Maintenance?
Unlike a standard cleaning, periodontal maintenance focuses on removing bacteria and buildup from below the gumline in areas prone to disease. These visits are recommended every 3–4 months for patients who have had gum disease.
Why It Matters
- Prevents gum disease from coming back
- Reduces risk of tooth loss
- Helps protect overall health
What to Expect at Your Appointment
Your visit includes a thorough cleaning, monitoring of gum health, and personalized care tips to keep your mouth healthy between appointments.
