Why do i get sick after having my teeth cleaned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bacteria/Resistance: You may have significant amounts of bacteria which are removed, but in cleaning an aerosol may be created and if you have a lowered resistance, then you may get sick. Possibly, you may need to have more frequent teeth cleanings and consider perioprotect a non-invasive home treatment to significantly remove the bacteria on a daily basis. www.perioprotect.com for a dentist near you.
