my hygienist says visit her every 3 months
Q. Hi, Iv recently been to visit my hygienist who advises me to visit them every 3 months. I have gum disease and one of my tooth is becoming loose. I have been using thin brushes to brush in between my tooth everyday, but im not sure if its helping and also how do i know if its clean or not? My tooth is still wobbly and i do not want to lose the tooth. Any suggestions?
A. In general patients who have had a history of gum disease are often best to see the hygienist 3 monthly to reduce the chances of reoccurance, In areas where the treatment does not seem to be working I would usually recommend referral to a gum specialist
