Why Ongoing Care Matters
Once gum disease is under control, work isn’t over. Periodontal maintenance keeps your gums healthy and prevents the disease from returning.
Our team at Zelda Court Dental Care works with you through regular checkups, targeted cleanings, and careful monitoring to help your smile thrive.

Why is Periodontal Maintenance Important?
Periodontal maintenance is a targeted dental cleaning program designed for patients who have been treated for gum disease. It focuses on removing plaque and tartar both above and below the gumline, monitoring your gum health, and detecting early symptoms that the disease is resurfacing.
Unlike standard cleanings, periodontal maintenance addresses areas that are more prone to infection, helping you maintain long-term oral health.
How Often Do You Need Periodontal Maintenance?
Even after successful treatment, bacteria can rebuild in the spaces between your teeth and gums. If gum disease reappears, it can lead to bone loss, loose teeth, or other complications.
With periodontal maintenance, we make sure any signs of trouble are caught and managed at the right time.
How Often Do You Need Periodontal Maintenance?
Most patients benefit from periodontal maintenance visits every three to four months. Our dental team may recommend a different schedule based on your specific needs, the severity of your gum disease, and your oral health.
Consistency is key—regular visits help prevent problems from developing between appointments.
How to Maintain Healthy Gums at Home
Once your gums are healthy again, consistent care is key to keeping them that way. Here’s how our team supports you with ongoing periodontal maintenance:
- Brush twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush
- Floss or use interdental brushes every day
- Rinse with an antibacterial mouthwash if recommended
- Eat a balanced diet and limit sugary foods
- Avoid smoking, which can worsen gum disease
