Is seeing a dentist for tartar cleaning gum scaling cleaning more than every 3 months too much, even if i will pay out of pocket.. insurance only pays for once every 3 to 4 months?

Dental Cleanings: Not particularly harmful, but may be prevented by meticulous home care including flossing. Your diet and smoking can also contribute to excessive buildup. Discuss with your dentist.

Take good advice: Get your teeth cleaned when your dentist tells you to. Do not let your insurance coverage be your guide. Preservation of tooth equals preservation of youth - so do everything possible to keep your teeth healthy!

Good afternoon doctors. I have a dentist question. When I get a gum scaling every three to four months, I often get bleeding from the gums. I am on Plavix and 81mg aspirin. Is it normal for gums to need after scaling, if one is on Plavix and aspirin!
