Give us a call at 212-297-2567 to schedule your consultation with our periodontist and learn more about the benefits of periodontal maintenance in New York City, New York.

If your gums are tender, red or swollen, or if they bleed easily, you may suffer from periodontal disease. Periodontal disease, which is also known as gum disease, is a degenerative condition caused by bacteria in plaque, which accumulate on the teeth. When not treated, periodontal disease can result in the loss of teeth, gum tissue and bone. While gum disease is not curable, we can treat the condition and keep it under control to protect your oral health. Our periodontist can provide periodontal maintenance to help treat periodontal disease and prevent the serious effects of the condition.

Periodontal maintenance involves visiting our office on a regular basis, typically once every three months, for a professional cleaning. These treatments include thorough cleanings both above and below the gumline, removing plaque, tartar (hardened plaque, also called dental calculus), and bacteria to prevent the condition from worsening. Periodontal maintenance is recommended every three months because when biofilm is not removed, the periodontal bacteria begin to flourish within three to 12 weeks. By providing a cleaning at 12 weeks (three months), we are able to remove these bacteria and keep the condition under control. To learn more about periodontal maintenance and how we can treat gum disease, we welcome you to call or visit our office today.

Patient Reviews

She amazing. She helped me with my receding gums, after she gave me the deepest general cleaning of my life. She is super friendly, and works with you every step of the way. I tell all my friends to go to her for cleanings

First time visiting Dr Morovati. She was very attentive and thorough in her examination. Explained clearly what she was doing and what the next steps should be. Very happy with her!

I went to her because I needed a second opinion on my gums. She was patient and clear in her diagnosis, laying out the options on the table. There was never any pressure to do thing or the other, which I appreciate
