Hi doctors, can you tell me what is periodontal maintenance?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Perio Maintenance: After the completion of periodontal therapy, patients should be seen on a routine basis in order to monitor and maintain healthy gums and bone (and therefore teeth of course). The period between visits is usually three months.
