Periodontal Maintenance – Dr. Friedberg & Associates

Protect Your Gums and Maintain a Healthy Smile

At Dr. Friedberg & Associates, we provide periodontal maintenance to help patients protect their gums after treatment for gum disease. This specialized care is designed to control bacteria, prevent disease from returning, and preserve overall oral health.

What Is Periodontal Maintenance?

Periodontal maintenance is a professional cleaning program tailored for patients who have been treated for gum infections or inflammation. Unlike a standard dental cleaning, this service focuses on removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria from beneath the gumline to maintain healthy periodontal pockets.

When Is It Recommended?

You may need periodontal maintenance if you:

  • Have undergone scaling and root planing

  • Are recovering from gum surgery

  • Have a history of moderate or advanced gum disease

  • Want to protect against further gum or bone loss

Benefits of Ongoing Care

Regular visits for periodontal maintenance can:

  • Prevent gum disease from progressing or recurring

  • Support healthy gums and jawbone

  • Reduce the risk of tooth loss

  • Keep your smile looking and feeling its best

Our Process

  1. Evaluation – We examine your gums, measure pocket depths, and check for signs of inflammation.

  2. Cleaning – Plaque, tartar, and harmful bacteria are gently removed above and below the gumline.

  3. Antimicrobial Rinse and Polishing – Special rinses may be used to reduce bacteria, followed by polishing for a smooth tooth surface.

  4. Maintenance Schedule – We recommend follow-ups, often every 3–4 months, to keep gums healthy.
