At Gentle Dental in Soldotna, we’re committed to helping you maintain a healthy smile with personalized periodontal maintenance. If you’ve been treated for gum disease, regular maintenance appointments are essential to prevent the condition from returning and to safeguard your long-term oral health.

We understand that gum health is just as important as maintaining your teeth, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
What Is Periodontal Maintenance?
Periodontal maintenance involves specialized cleanings that go beyond routine dental hygiene appointments. If you’ve undergone treatment for gum disease, such as scaling and root planing, periodontal maintenance helps control bacteria buildup and keeps your gums healthy.
During these visits, we:
- Remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline.
- Monitor gum pockets to detect changes in your periodontal health.
- Provide personalized advice for at-home care to support lasting results.
By scheduling regular maintenance appointments, you can prevent the recurrence of gum disease. Left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss and other health complications.

The Importance of Regular Periodontal Care
Gum disease doesn’t always show obvious symptoms in its early stages, so proactive maintenance is critical. Untreated gum disease can lead to:
- Receding gums
- Loose or lost teeth
- Bone loss in the jaw
- Links to health conditions such as diabetes and heart disease
