A regular cleaning and periodontal maintenance are not the same.

A regular cleaning is known as a prophylaxis in dental terms.  The American Dental Association describes a prophylaxis as removal of plaque, tartar and stains from the tooth structures. A regular cleaning is recommended for persons who do not have any bone loss, periodontal disease, or infection around their teeth.  There should also be no bleeding, mobility of teeth, receded areas where the gums have pulled away from the teeth, or gaps where the spaces around the roots of the teeth are exposed.  In other words, the mouth should be healthy, with no gum and bone problems.

Periodontal disease is very common, but does not always have distinct symptoms.  It is an inflammation and infection of the supporting structures of the teeth (gums, bone, ligaments, and root surface) that eventually results in the loss of teeth.  You may notice that your gums bleed easily, that you have a bad taste in your mouth, that your gums appear red or swollen, that your teeth appear longer or have shifted.  Or you may not notice anything at all. If you have periodontal disease, you may require root planing to remove diseased deposits from the roots of your teeth.  Other treatment, including surgery, may be required.  After the disease process is under control, a regular cleaning is not appropriate anymore.  Instead, you will require special on-going gum and bone care procedures, also known as periodontal maintenance to keep your mouth healthy.
