Periodontal Maintenance
Periodontal Maintenance
Periodontal maintenance is an ongoing cleaning and monitoring program designed to manage gum disease and maintain the health of your gums after initial treatment. At Fran Eichler, D.D.S., we provide personalized maintenance care to help prevent the progression of periodontal disease and protect your long-term oral health.
Ongoing Care for Lasting Gum Health
After scaling and root planing or other periodontal treatments, regular maintenance is essential to keep harmful bacteria under control. Periodontal maintenance visits go beyond routine cleanings, focusing on areas below the gumline where plaque and bacteria can accumulate and cause reinfection.
Dr. Fran Eichler carefully monitors your gum health at each visit, measuring pocket depths, checking for signs of inflammation, and providing thorough cleanings to maintain stability. These visits are typically scheduled more frequently than standard cleanings, depending on your individual needs, to ensure your gums remain healthy and your treatment results last.
