I would like to know if a scaling and root planning has been done on only 1 or 2 teeth on the right upper quad are we required to still do periodontal maintenance on the entire mouth and bill for that. Is it possible to bill for only those two teeth for periodontal maintenance and then a regular prophy for the rest of the mouth?

RSP must be done on a separate visit. It is not billable in conjunction with periodontal maintenance or a prophy.
