Periodontal Cleaning
Periodontal Cleaning
If you’ve been treated for gum disease, regular cleanings alone may not be enough to keep it under control. Our experts offer periodontal cleanings—a specialized maintenance procedure designed for patients with a history of gum disease. These cleanings are essential for preserving the progress made through treatment and preventing future flare-ups.
What Is Periodontal Cleaning?
Also known as periodontal maintenance, this type of cleaning goes beyond a standard dental cleaning. It focuses on removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gumline to keep periodontal pockets clean and reduce the risk of infection.
Unlike routine cleanings every six months, periodontal cleanings are typically scheduled every 3–4 months, depending on your needs and how your gums respond.
What to Expect During Your Service
The procedure is comfortable and quick, especially when done consistently as part of your periodontal maintenance plan. Without proper maintenance, gum disease can return—even after successful treatment.
Periodontal cleanings help:
- Prevent progression of gum disease
- Protect bone and tissue health
- Reduce inflammation and bleeding
- Maintain a healthier, more stable smile
