Periodontal maintenance
Supportive periodontal therapy
Periodontal maintenance
After treating the disease, we implement supportive periodontal therapy, or maintenance, to maintain periodontal health.
Importance of maintenance sessions
We organize these sessions to monitor and intercept potential recurrences of pocket formation.
Reinforcement of hygiene techniques
We reinforce hygiene techniques and perform a thorough cleaning. This way, we reduce the amount of plaque and deposits that are difficult for you to reach. Generally, we schedule these sessions every 3 to 4 months.
Key component of treatment success
We consider these sessions as one of the key components for the long-term success of periodontal treatment.
Maintaining the regularity of sessions
The challenge lies in maintaining regularity in your maintenance sessions. Over the years, regular follow-up will allow you to maintain good periodontal health. However, good periodontal health might make you forget your susceptibility to periodontal disease. Therefore, it is essential to stay vigilant and not neglect these maintenance sessions.
A periodontal disease can be treated effectively. The key to success is to follow the treatment plan proposed by your periodontist and to eliminate the bacterial plaque that triggers the disease process by maintaining excellent oral hygiene.
Who can perform this maintenance?
A dental hygienist trained in periodontology and implantology can perform this procedure. She will pay special attention to your gum health and be more vigilant about any potential recurrence.
When should we perform this maintenance?
These sessions are recommended every 3 to 4 months, but in some specific cases, they can be spaced out to 6 months.
How much does a periodontal maintenance session cost?
The cost of a thorough one-hour periodontal maintenance session is 172 CHF.
