Stay on Top of Gum Disease
Produced in cooperation with the American
Academy of Periodontology, this brochure
explains that periodic periodontal maintenance
appointments are different from regular cleanings.
Help patients understand:
Periodontal disease doesn’t always go away
after one treatment
Periodontal maintenance is necessary to help
keep gums healthy and allow them to heal from
gum disease
Regular periodontal cleanings reduce bacteria
and help pockets shrink

Maintenance:
Stay on Top of Gum Disease
Periodic periodontal cleanings help
you stay on top of gum disease
If you have periodontal (perry-o-DONtal)
disease (also called gum disease), you may already
have had a special deep cleaning called scaling and
root planing. You also may have had periodontal
surgery. The periodic cleanings recommended
after these treatments are called periodontal
maintenance therapy.
The purpose of these cleanings is to help you keep
your gums healthy and make sure that periodontal
disease does not get worse.

Your periodontal disease won’t go away on its own
Once your periodontal disease is brought under
control, it is very important that you get dental care
on a regular basis. Cleaning your mouth every day
at home is critical, but it’s not enough on its own to
keep your gum disease under control. Professional
dental care is needed to help control gum disease.
Periodontal maintenance involves a cleaning
that goes deeper below the gumline than a
regular dental cleaning. You need deeper cleanings
because spaces have formed between your teeth
and gums. These spaces are called periodontal
pockets. Bacteria collects in these pockets and
eventually the bone that supports the teeth may
be destroyed. The deeper the pocket, the worse
your gum disease may be. Periodontal maintenance
helps to keep pockets from getting deeper, allowing
your gums to heal.
If the bacteria continue to grow, your gums can
become red, puffy, swollen and no longer tightly
hug your teeth. This can also create bone loss, which
causes your teeth to become loose or fall out.
With periodic maintenance, the amount of plaque
bacteria is lowered. Then, the inflammation can
get better, pockets can shrink and your gums can
become healthier.
Once gums are healthy, periodic cleanings can
help keep them free from infection. Your dentist
may also recommend and use medicines to help
lower the periodontal bacteria in your mouth. The
medicine could be a pill, a special mouthrinse or a
medication that your dentist places right into the
pocket after you have a deep cleaning.

Your gum disease treatment will depend on several
factors, including your personal health history and
the stage of your gum disease.
The first step in treating gum disease usually
involves scaling and root planing. This treatment
may be done over more than one visit, depending
on your diagnosis.
Scaling: Your dentist or hygienist removes plaque
and tartar down to the bottom of each pocket.
Root Planing: Then, the root surfaces of your teeth
are smoothed, or “planed,” to allow the gum tissue
to heal and reattach to the teeth.
Your dentist may recommend certain medicines
to help control infection and discomfort or to aid
healing. After your treatment, your dentist may
give you medicine in the form of pills, a mouth
rinse or medicated material placed directly into
the pocket to help control infection.
This patient has pockets of 8 mm, which is a sign of gum
disease. Signs of gum disease, such as deep pockets, can
be difficult to notice on your own.

Scaling and root planing is
not the same as a regular
cleaning! This treatment is a
deeper cleaning that focuses on
getting your infection and inflammation
under control. Be sure to follow all of the
recommendations of your dentist, or your
gum disease could get worse.
Tobacco use in any form makes gum disease worse. This includes smoking, vaping, chewing or
dipping all of which can cause problems for your healing process and make it harder for your
gum disease to improve. Talk with your dentist or physician about ways to quit.

After Your Treatment
You will have a follow-up visit with your dentist
You will need to schedule another dental visit within
a few weeks or months after your scaling and root
planing treatment has been completed. At this visit,
your dentist or hygienist will check your gums to
see how they have healed. They will measure the
periodontal pockets again. Scaling and root planing
may be only a first step in periodontal treatment.
Once your periodontal treatment is complete,
your dentist may recommend that you have more
frequent checkups and cleanings. This is to help
keep your gums as healthy as possible.
Regular dental visits and maintenance care
are important to keep your gum disease under
control. Depending on your personal case, your
appointments may alternate between your
general dentist and your periodontist.
Keep up with your oral hygiene at home!
Taking good care of your teeth and gums at home
also is very important to help keep gum disease from
getting worse or from coming back. Daily home
cleaning disrupts plaque and reduces tartar buildup.
Brush your teeth two times a day
with a toothpaste that contains
fluoride (FLOOR-eyed).
Clean between your teeth with
floss or another between-the-teeth
cleaner once a day.
You don’t have to lose teeth to gum disease!
Brush, clean between your teeth, eat a healthy
diet and visit your dentist regularly for a lifetime
of healthy smiles.
