What are Periodontal Maintenance Program?

A Periodontal Maintenance Program is an individualised non-surgical plan designed to control gum infection and prevent further progression of periodontal disease after active treatment has been completed. This ongoing programme typically involves regular maintenance visits every 3-4 months, during which dental professionals remove plaque and tartar (calculus) from teeth using specialised instruments, perform scaling and root planing, examine gum pockets, and monitor overall periodontal health. Unlike routine cleanings which are preventative, periodontal maintenance addresses existing oral health conditions and is essential for maintaining the results achieved during initial periodontal therapy, preventing disease recurrence, and preserving the supporting structures of the teeth over the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is periodontal maintenance?


Periodontal maintenance is a specialised cleaning procedure performed after you've undergone treatment for periodontal (gum) disease. At London Dental Specialists, our periodontal maintenance programme includes thorough cleaning above and below the gumline, removal of plaque and tartar (scaling and root planing), assessment of gum pocket depths, and evaluation of your overall oral health. This ongoing care is essential for preventing the recurrence of gum disease and maintaining the results achieved through initial treatment.



How often should I have periodontal maintenance appointments?


Most patients at London Dental Specialists require periodontal maintenance appointments every 3-4 months. This frequency is typically recommended because bacteria can recolonise the pockets around your teeth within 90 days after treatment. Your specific interval will be determined by our periodontists based on the severity of your previous gum disease, your home care routine, and how quickly plaque and tartar accumulate in your mouth. Regular attendance at these appointments is crucial for long-term gum health.



What is the difference between regular dental cleaning and periodontal maintenance?


Regular dental cleaning (prophylaxis) is preventative care for patients with healthy gums, focusing primarily on cleaning above the gumline. Periodontal maintenance at London Dental Specialists is more comprehensive, including:



  • Deeper cleaning below the gumline

  • Thorough scaling and root planing

  • Detailed assessment of gum pocket depths

  • Evaluation of gum recession and tooth mobility

  • Targeted cleaning of areas with remaining pockets

  • Personalised oral hygiene instructions


Periodontal maintenance is specifically designed for patients who have been treated for periodontal disease.



Why is the 3-month periodontal maintenance schedule important?


The 3-month periodontal maintenance schedule at London Dental Specialists is crucial because research shows that periodontal bacteria can repopulate within 90 days after treatment. This schedule helps disrupt bacterial growth before it can cause further damage to your gums and supporting bone. Regular maintenance visits allow our specialists to monitor your condition, address any early signs of recurrence, and adjust your treatment plan as needed. Maintaining this schedule significantly improves your chances of long-term periodontal health.



What happens during a periodontal maintenance appointment?


During your periodontal maintenance appointment at London Dental Specialists, we will:



  1. Review your medical and dental history

  2. Examine your gums for signs of inflammation

  3. Measure and record your gum pocket depths

  4. Check for tooth mobility and gum recession

  5. Perform thorough scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar

  6. Polish your teeth to remove stains

  7. Provide personalised oral hygiene instructions

  8. Recommend specific oral hygiene products if needed

  9. Schedule your next maintenance appointment



Can I ever go back to regular dental cleanings after periodontal treatment?


Once you've been diagnosed with and treated for periodontal disease, periodontal maintenance is generally recommended for life. At London Dental Specialists, we may adjust the frequency of your visits based on your response to treatment and home care effectiveness. Some patients with excellent home care and stable conditions might eventually extend to 4-6 month intervals, but this decision is made on an individual basis by our periodontists. Periodontal disease is chronic and requires ongoing management to prevent recurrence.



What is the maintenance phase of periodontitis treatment?


The maintenance phase is the long-term care programme that follows active periodontal treatment. At London Dental Specialists, this phase is designed to preserve the results achieved during initial therapy and prevent disease recurrence. It includes regular professional cleanings, monitoring of gum health, reinforcement of oral hygiene techniques, and early intervention if signs of disease return. The maintenance phase is not optional but an essential component of successful periodontal therapy, helping to ensure the long-term stability of your oral health.



What happens if I miss my periodontal maintenance appointments?


Missing periodontal maintenance appointments at London Dental Specialists can lead to the recurrence and progression of gum disease. Without regular professional care, bacteria can multiply in the gum pockets, causing renewed inflammation, bleeding, and potentially further bone and tooth loss. Research shows that patients who adhere to their recommended maintenance schedule have better outcomes than those who don't. If you've missed appointments, we recommend scheduling as soon as possible to prevent further damage and get back on track with your periodontal health.



How can I maintain my periodontal health between maintenance visits?


Between your periodontal maintenance visits at London Dental Specialists, we recommend:



  • Brushing thoroughly twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush

  • Using interdental brushes or floss daily to clean between teeth

  • Considering a water flosser for additional cleaning if recommended

  • Using antimicrobial mouthwash if prescribed by your periodontist

  • Following any specific oral hygiene instructions provided

  • Maintaining a healthy diet low in sugary foods and drinks

  • Avoiding tobacco products which worsen periodontal disease

  • Contacting us promptly if you notice bleeding gums, swelling, or discomfort


Consistent home care is essential for successful periodontal maintenance.
