Treating Gum Disease Isn’t Enough — You Have to Maintain It

If you’ve been treated for gum disease, regular dental cleanings aren’t enough to keep it from coming back. That’s why at View Dental Raleigh, we offer periodontal maintenance — a specialized, ongoing care program designed to manage chronic periodontitis and protect your long-term oral health.

Our goal is simple: keep your gums healthy, prevent further bone loss, and help you avoid more invasive procedures down the line.

Periodontal Maintenance

What Is Periodontal Maintenance?

Periodontal maintenance is a series of deep, targeted cleanings performed every 3–4 months after you’ve been treated for gum disease (typically following scaling and root planing). These visits go beyond standard cleanings and focus on:
Removing bacteria and tartar from deep gum pockets
Monitoring for signs of inflammation or recurrence
Measuring pocket depths and bone support
Reinforcing home care and preventive habits

Gum disease is a chronic condition — like diabetes or high blood pressure. With regular maintenance, we help you keep it under control.

Who Needs Periodontal Maintenance?
You may benefit from periodontal maintenance if you:
image

Have a history of scaling and root planing

image

Were previously diagnosed with periodontitis

image

Have deep gum pockets (over 4mm)

image

Experience frequent gum bleeding, swelling, or sensitivity

image

Want to preserve your natural teeth and bone structure

We evaluate every patient individually and build a maintenance plan tailored to your needs — not a one-size-fits-all schedule.

What Happens During a Periodontal Maintenance Visit?

Your visit includes:
Full Periodontal Charting

We measure pocket depths, assess gum health, and monitor bone levels over time.

Deep Subgingival Cleaning

Our team removes tartar, plaque, and bacterial biofilm from above and below the gumline — especially in areas that are hard to reach with home care.

Antibacterial Rinses or Medications

If needed, we apply localized antimicrobials or irrigation to reduce inflammation and infection.

Education and Home Care Support

We review brushing and flossing techniques, recommend professional tools, and help you stay ahead of symptoms between visits.

These cleanings are more thorough than standard hygiene appointments — and essential for keeping your gums and bone stable.

Why 3–4 Month Intervals?

Plaque hardens into tartar within 24–48 hours and can begin to inflame the gums again in just a few months. Regular maintenance prevents buildup from reaching dangerous levels and allows us to catch changes early — before they become serious problems.

You’re Not Too Late. You’re Right on Time.

If it’s been years since your last visit… if you’ve been living in pain… if you’ve been putting off care because you’re afraid of what we’ll find — we see you. And we’re here to walk with you through it all.
