Can i ask for a periodontal probing?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Periodontal probing: Periodontal probing should be part of your routine dental exam and cleanings. If this is not being done at least once a year you can ask but you should not need to. It is standard care or should be in every dental office.
