Periodontal maintenance in Napa, CA

What is periodontal maintenance?

Periodontal maintenance is a specialized cleaning for patients who have been treated for gum disease. At Bevan Dental, periodontal maintenance in Napa keeps gum disease under control after your periodontal cleaning.

How it differs from a regular cleaning

A regular cleaning is for healthy gums. Periodontal maintenance goes below the gumline, where gum disease lives, and includes careful measurements to track your gum health over time.

What happens at each visit

• Cleaning above and below the gumline
• Measuring gum pockets to track your progress
• Checking for any areas that need extra attention
• Updating your home-care plan

How often you'll need it

Usually more often than a regular cleaning, since the bacteria that cause gum disease grow back faster. We'll set a schedule based on how your gums are doing and adjust it as they improve.

Keeping your gums healthy between visits

Brushing, cleaning between your teeth, and following your hygienist's advice all help. For some patients, Perio Protect trays keep bacteria in check between visits. If an area flares up, we'll catch it early and treat it before it becomes a bigger problem.

“I'd rather tell you the truth than talk you into something. If you're nervous, we slow down and keep things gentle. If something can wait, I'll tell you it can wait. After more than 25 years, I've learned that being honest and gentle is its own kind of warmth.”
