Periodontal Maintenance in Fort Lauderdale

Protecting Your Gums and Preserving Your Oral Health

Periodontal maintenance is essential for individuals with gum disease or those at risk of developing it. Unlike a regular dental cleaning, this specialized treatment helps prevent the progression of periodontitis by removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria that accumulate below the gumline.

What to Expect During Your Periodontal Maintenance Visit

  • Comprehensive Gum Evaluation – We assess the condition of your gums, measuring pocket depths and checking for signs of inflammation or bone loss.
  • Deep Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing) – A thorough cleaning is performed to remove tartar buildup from above and below the gumline.
  • Antibacterial Treatment – In some cases, we may apply localized antibiotics like Arestin® to target and eliminate bacteria in deep pockets.
  • Ongoing Monitoring & Care Plan – We track your gum health and adjust treatment plans as needed to ensure long-term stability.

Consistent periodontal maintenance visits—typically every three to four months—are key to preventing gum disease from worsening and maintaining a healthy, confident smile.
