How Often Should You Have Maintenance Visits?

 

 

Your periodontal condition is the deciding factor. The interval between your maintenance visits might be as often as every few weeks or as frequent as every six months. Everyone's situation is different. The frequency of your maintenance visits will be influenced by:
The type of periodontal disease you have 
The type of periodontal treatment you had 
Your response to treatment 
Your rate of plaque growth 
Your personal commitment to good oral care at home.
