Understanding Periodontal Maintenance

Periodontal maintenance stands as a cornerstone in dental care, specifically designed to manage and prevent the progression of periodontal (gum) disease. Gingivitis, characterized by inflamed gums, is the initial stage of periodontal disease. If left untreated, it can advance to more severe stages, potentially leading to tooth loss and other complications.


Our periodontal maintenance services aim to provide ongoing care for patients who have experienced gum disease or are at risk of developing it. This comprehensive approach includes professional dental cleanings, thorough examinations, and personalized oral hygiene instructions tailored to prevent the recurrence or progression of periodontal issues.


At Smart Smile Dental, we believe that taking care of your gums is important for your overall health. We know that the health of your mouth is connected to your overall well-being, so we take a holistic approach to help you keep both your gums and body healthy.

The Importance of Periodontal Maintenance:

  1. Preventing Progression: Regular periodontal maintenance is essential to prevent the advancement of gum disease. Addressing issues in their early stages allows us to halt progression and minimize the risk of severe complications.
  2. Preserving Oral Health: Healthy gums form the foundation of a strong smile. Periodontal maintenance helps preserve the health of your gums, reducing the risk of gum recession, tooth sensitivity, and other related problems.
  3. Protecting Overall Health: The link between periodontal health and overall well-being is well-established. Long-term gum inflammation has been linked to other health problems like heart disease, diabetes, and breathing issues. Maintaining healthy gums contributes significantly to your overall health.

Periodontal Maintenance Procedures:

  • Comprehensive Dental Cleanings

    Our skilled dental hygienists perform thorough cleanings, targeting plaque and tartar buildup in hard-to-reach areas with regular brushing and flossing.


  • Gum Health Assessment

    Smart Smile Dental assesses the health of your gums, checking for signs of inflammation, recession, or other issues. Early detection allows for prompt intervention.


  • Personalized Oral Hygiene Instruction

    Our team provides customized guidance on oral hygiene practices tailored to your specific needs, including recommendations for proper brushing techniques, flossing, and the use of additional oral care products.

  • Periodontal Charting

    We use advanced periodontal charting to monitor the depth of spaces or gaps around the teeth called "periodontal pockets.", helping track the progression of gum disease and adjust the treatment plan accordingly.

  • Advanced Treatment Options

    In addition to routine maintenance, we offer advanced treatment options like scaling and root planing for more severe cases of gum disease. These treatments remove germs and hardened plaque from below the gumline, helping the gums heal and stopping more harm from occurring.
