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.
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.
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:
Periodontal maintenance is specifically designed for patients who have been treated for periodontal disease.
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.
During your periodontal maintenance appointment at London Dental Specialists, we will:
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.
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.
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.
Between your periodontal maintenance visits at London Dental Specialists, we recommend:
Consistent home care is essential for successful periodontal maintenance.
