What are some ways to keep mouth clean after scaling?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Brush and floss: Keeping the gums and teeth healthy should be a simple task especially after you have already got a cleaning (scaling). 1. Brush twice daily 2. Floss twice daily 3. Get dental cleanings twice a year you can use a mouthwash intermittently to rinse too.
