In between routine dental cleanings, there’s always a chance you may need additional cleaning or exam to ensure your mouth is healthy. Besides toothaches and other pain, you’ll notice a few other signs you may need a dental cleaning. Loose teeth typically mean the gums are damaged or receded and need treatment. In some cases, receding gums may be visible. Excessive bleeding in the gums often indicates plaque buildup, which we can fix this with a cleaning. Bad breath, too, shows the need for additional dental cleaning. This is often a symptom of an infection. Should you experience any of these symptoms or other causes for worry, it’s always best to be proactive and schedule an appointment with Medora Dental Care.
