Frequently Asked Questions

Is it necessary that i have periodontal cleanings every 6 months? i floss everyday. My insurance doesnt cover this type of cleaning and its very uncomfortable. Thanks for your time.

The difference between a periodontal cleaning and a regular cleaning depends whether you have had gum disease in the past. Periodontal cleanings include a review of past gum problems and a closer evaluation of your current condition. It includes scaling where indicated. You should discuss this with your dentist for your specific situation.
