Periodontal maintenance

This procedure is or the patient that has been treated for periodontal disease, "gum disease". It allows for maintaining healthy gums once the initial treatment is complete. To the patient it is much like the regular cleaning but to the dentist it is much more. The hygienist performs the regular cleaning but also concentrates on the problems spots to keep the gum disease from returning.
