Periodontal Maintenance
BOOK NOWMaintain Healthy Gums and Protect Your Smile for Life
Successfully treating gum disease is only the first step toward lasting oral health. Without ongoing care, harmful bacteria can return below the gumline, increasing the risk of recurrent infection, bone loss, and tooth loss. Periodontal maintenance is designed to help keep your gums healthy and protect the results of your periodontal treatment.
At Risus Dental Studio, we provide personalized periodontal maintenance programs that help patients manage their gum health for the long term. Dr. David E. Gonzalez and our team work closely with you to prevent the progression of periodontal disease while preserving your natural smile in a comfortable, patient-centered environment.
What Is Periodontal Maintenance?
Periodontal maintenance is a specialized preventive cleaning designed for patients who have been treated for gum disease. Unlike a routine dental cleaning, periodontal maintenance focuses on removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria from above and below the gumline to help prevent the return of periodontal infection.
This ongoing care plays an essential role in maintaining healthy gums after scaling and root planing or other periodontal treatments.
Depending on your oral health, periodontal maintenance may include:
- Removal of plaque and tartar above and below the gumline.
- Monitoring periodontal pocket depths.
- Evaluation of gum tissue health.
- Personalized oral hygiene recommendations.
- Ongoing assessment of bone and tooth support.
- Preventive care to reduce disease recurrence.
Every maintenance schedule is customized to your individual periodontal needs.

Who Needs Periodontal Maintenance?
Periodontal maintenance is recommended for patients who have been diagnosed with gingivitis or periodontitis and have completed active periodontal treatment.
This ongoing care helps patients who have experienced:
- Gum disease.
- Bleeding gums.
- Periodontal pocket formation.
- Gum recession.
- Bone loss around teeth.
- Previous scaling and root planing.
- Chronic plaque accumulation.
- Increased risk for periodontal disease recurrence.
