How often should I have a dental cleaning if I have gum disease?
If you have a history of gum disease, we typically recommend a Periodontal maintenance cleaning every three months to ensure your oral health remains stable and to prevent further complications.
In a recent clinical microstory, our Oral Health Therapist, Marijana, shared the treatment journey of a patient named Tim. Tim visits our Mount Annan practice regularly to manage his gum health, demonstrating the importance of consistent, professional intervention. At ToothSavers, our primary aim is to help every patient reach a state of dental health and stability through tailored, long-term care.
The Importance of Periodontal Maintenance
Diagnosing and Monitoring Gum Health
When gum disease is diagnosed, it requires a more frequent and specialised approach than standard preventative care. For patients like Tim, this involves a status examination that includes detailed X-rays and clinical photos. These diagnostic tools allow our team to monitor any changes in the bone and gum tissue, ensuring that we can adjust your treatment plan accordingly to maintain a fixed and healthy result.
Achieving Stability Through Regular Recalls
The goal of a periodontal gum therapies programme is to reach a level of clinical stability. By seeing our Mount Annan patients every three months, we can perform deep cleanings that remove bacteria from areas that are difficult to reach at home. This regular maintenance is essential for preventing the progression of gum disease and ensuring your smile remains durable for the future.
Tailored Next Steps for Your Dental Health
Following a thorough cleaning, we establish a clear path forward. For Tim, this means continuing his three-monthly recall appointments to ensure there are no changes to his diagnosis. If changes do occur, our team will treatment plan further interventions to protect his teeth and gums. Whether you need a simple check up and clean or ongoing maintenance, we specialise in professional care that prioritises your comfort.
If you have concerns about your gum health or have been told you need more frequent cleanings, we are here to support you. Please call the ToothSavers team on (02) 8000 1225 or fill out our contact form to schedule your periodontal assessment.

Gum Health and Periodontal Care
Noticing a little blood in the sink when you brush, or gums that look redder or more tender than they used to? It is easy to ignore, but bleeding gums are often the first sign of something worth taking seriously. With the right periodontal care, gum problems can be picked up early, managed and kept from threatening the teeth they support.

Comprehensive Check-Up and Clean
Been longer than you would like since your last visit, and not quite sure what is going on behind your smile? A comprehensive check-up and clean is the place to start. We take time to examine your teeth, gums and bite, lift away the build-up a toothbrush cannot reach, and flag anything small now before it turns into something bigger and costlier later.
At Toothsavers, we look after patients throughout Campbelltown, Narellan and Mount Annan, with thorough, unhurried visits and not a hint of judgement about how long it has been.
