Whether you’re visiting for routine periodontal care or ongoing treatment, we proudly serve patients across Cape Cod, Barnstable, Centerville, Dennis, and Hyannis.
What Is Periodontal Maintenance?
Our periodontal maintenance treatments prevent and manage gum disease by thoroughly cleaning below the gumline. This deep cleaning removes plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing can’t reach, targeting areas that can lead to inflammation and infection. Unlike routine cleanings, periodontal maintenance focuses on the deep pockets between the gums and teeth, ensuring that any existing gum issues are treated effectively and prevent future oral health problems.
Why Regular Periodontal Maintenance Is Essential
Gum disease is a leading cause of tooth loss but can be prevented or controlled with regular care. At Harris Dental Cape Cod, we emphasize the importance of periodontal maintenance in protecting the gums and the structure that supports your teeth. Regular periodontal maintenance treatments help to prevent gum recession, bone loss, and other serious oral health issues. Our dental team is committed to helping you maintain healthy gums, reducing the risk of more complex dental problems down the line.
What to Expect During Your Periodontal Maintenance Appointment
When you visit Harris Dental Cape Cod for periodontal maintenance, our experienced dental hygienists will carefully clean below your gumline to remove harmful tartar and bacteria. Using specialized tools, we focus on areas most vulnerable to gum disease, including deep pockets around the teeth. The procedure is thorough yet gentle, promoting healing and reducing inflammation. Depending on your specific needs, our dentists may recommend periodontal maintenance every three to four months to ensure your gums remain healthy.
