Active treatment is a beginning, not the last visit.
After treatment for periodontal disease, the gums and supporting tissues need continued attention. Maintenance visits focus on previously affected areas and changes that may signal renewed inflammation.
If you live in Simcoe and are continuing care at our Port Dover office, bring information about previous treatment, including any specialist recommendations. That history helps us understand what has improved and what needs closer monitoring.
Your care, step by step
An ongoing review of stability
01
Compare the findings
Gum measurements and other clinical signs are reviewed against your treatment history.
02
Clean the relevant areas
Maintenance addresses deposits and sites requiring attention, with home-care guidance tailored to access difficulties.
03
Adjust the plan
Persistent or recurrent problems may need further treatment or communication with your periodontal specialist.
A detail worth discussing
The recall interval should fit the risk.
Your maintenance schedule may differ from someone attending only for routine preventive care. Stability, smoking, health conditions and the ability to clean effectively can influence the interval.
Ask what the current review shows compared with previous visits and why the next interval is being recommended. If appointments are shared with a periodontal provider, clarify which care each office is delivering so important reviews are not missed or confused. Tell the team if cost, travel from Simcoe or a difficult cleaning routine is becoming a barrier. Those concerns belong in the planning conversation before the schedule starts to slip.
Planning your visit from Simcoe
Keep your records connected.
If your care is shared between our office and another provider, tell both teams. Simcoe patients can ask which visits belong at each office and what information should be exchanged.
Appointments take place at our Port Dover office. When requesting a time, let us know you are coming from Simcoe and ask about the expected visit length.

Continuing periodontal care
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
Is maintenance the same as a regular cleaning?
It is planned around a history of periodontal disease and includes monitoring the affected support, rather than cleaning alone.
Can I stop when bleeding improves?
Improvement is encouraging, but continued review is important. Discuss any change to the schedule with your dental team.
What should I report between visits?
New bleeding, swelling, a change in bite or a tooth that feels loose should be reported rather than saved for the next maintenance date.
