Did you know gum disease is considered a lifelong condition? Many chronic diseases can be controlled with treatment, but they don't completely disappear.
If a patient manages their blood sugar well, they are still diabetic. If someone controls their blood pressure with medication, they are still hypertensive. The same concept applies to periodontal disease.
Even if your gums are stable and healthy-looking after treatment, you still have a history of periodontitis. Because the supporting bone has already been affected, the condition must be monitored and managed long-term. That's where periodontal maintenance becomes essential.
