The number one reason people are not getting their regular maintenance performed is the high costs involved. Periodontal work, whether performed by a general dentist or a periodontist, is quite expensive for those with this disease. The frequency of necessary Periodontal Maintenance (performed every three months) along with a lack of affordable care, can make routine maintenance out of reach for many Americans.

There are some lower cost options becoming available to patients, and a movement is rising among dentists to offer more affordable dental care to those who do not have insurance.When a patient has to skip regular cleanings and treatments due to a lack of affordable dental care, the dentists know that it negates the good work they have been performing.

For a patient with this disease, sporadic work is not adequate to keep the disease from spreading. Thousands of Americans suffer from periodontal disease, but with regular maintenance, this disease can be regulated. Many dentists are now offering cheaper services to patients with periodontal disease.
