Do Sore Gums Mean You Need A Deeper Clean?
Our previous blog was all about dental checkups and cleanings, and how these help safeguard smiles in Houston, TX, from the onset of tooth decay and gum disease. But what if a patient comes to us with the indicators of gingivitis or even the early stages of gum disease? In order to manage the issue and protect overall oral health, we may suggest a deep cleaning, also known as a scaling and root planing.
Don’t Forget To Schedule Your Six-Month Cleaning!
If we asked how much time has elapsed between your last cleaning and now, what would say? Six months? A year? Two or more years? Often, we find people don’t realize just how vital a routine visit is for keeping your teeth and gums healthy and free of complications, such as cavities and gum disease. In order to help our Houston, TX, patients enjoy healthier smiles, we always recommend a six-month dental cleaning.
