The Importance of Periodontal Maintenance
“Periodontal” refers to the tissues and structures that support your teeth, such as gums. Periodontal maintenance is crucial for keeping your smile beautiful. But the importance of it is not limited to how your smile looks.
Periodontal maintenance can also:
- Reduce the risk of tooth loss. Gum disease is one of the most common causes of tooth loss, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Preventing gum disease through periodontal maintenance can protect your teeth.
- Help you avoid heart disease, cancer, and more. Research has shown a strong connection between periodontal maintenance and overall health. This makes routine dentist and periodontist visits something you do not want to overlook.
- Improve your breath. Gum diseases often result in persistent bad breath. Proper periodontal maintenance can resolve this issue.

Types of Periodontal Cleaning & Maintenance
In addition to professional care and procedures, you can improve and maintain your periodontal health through timely checkups and good habits.
Below are common treatments, as well as things you should make part of your hygiene routine:
Deep Cleaning (Scaling, Root Planing, & Pocket Irrigation)
Scaling and root planing involve removing plaque and tartar below the gum line. It cleans teeth deeply, which can reduce issues with inflammation, promote gum healing, and prevent gum disease. If you have loose teeth or swollen, bleeding, or receding gums, contact our office to discuss scaling and root planing.
Pocket irrigation washes plaque and bacteria away from teeth and under the gum line. It can help maintain healthy teeth and gums. Our doctors also frequently perform pocket irrigation during osseous surgery and other procedures.
Routine Dental Checkups
Visiting your dentist regularly for professional cleanings and checkups can keep your teeth in great shape and allow you to address periodontal issues before they worsen.
Practicing Good Habits at Home
There are many dos and don’ts when it comes to maintaining your periodontal health at home. Things you should do include brushing and flossing your teeth and using antimicrobial mouthwash. As for the don’ts, you ought to limit acidic and sugary foods. Additionally, if you are a smoker, you might consider quitting to avoid complications with gum disease, among other health issues.
Gum Grafting, Pocket Reduction, & Bone Grafting
Gum grafting, pocket reduction, and bone grafting could be necessary for maintaining your periodontal health, especially if you have moderate to severe gum disease. Gum grafting can restore lost tissue. Pocket reduction eliminates buildups of bacteria and strengthens gums. Bone grafting can increase jawbone volume, making dental implants possible.
For pocket reduction, we often perform the LANAP protocol treatment. This is a laser-assisted procedure that does not require incisions or sutures like traditional surgery. It is an effective gum disease treatment with minimal recovery time, which is why we frequently recommend it.
