Periodontal Maintenance Procedure (PMP)

A dental cleaning visit at the periodontal office includes a discussion of your current general and dental health, gum pocket measurements, evaluation of tissue tone and tooth mobility along with thorough tooth cleaning. Should the hygienist note any gum changes since your last cleaning, the periodontist is asked for a diagnosis and suggested new treatment plan. Sometimes that requires an interim evaluation based on the changes noted. This exam usually takes place six weeks after your dental cleaning.
