Once the mouth is restored to a state of health, maintenance of the teeth and gums is essential. This can be considered the long term therapy for Periodontitis. This involves meticulous homecare and hygiene procedures using brushing and dental floss. Periodonic visits to a dental professional for cleaning is essential for long-term dental health. This is often carried out every 3-6 months and usually alternates between the periodontist and general dentist.

After your mouth is restored to health, you still require monitoring. Periodontal disease is controlled, not cured. Regular maintenance can ensure disease control by eliminating bacteria on a more frequent schedule.
