Question:
Does anyone brush and floss like they should yet still have issues with cavities and abscesses?
Answers:
Some people are more prone to dental decay and peridontal disease than others. Some people could go without brushing or flossing a lifetime and never develop decay. On the other hand, there are those of us (like myself) that require constant scrutiny and care to maintain a semi-healthy dental state. I see my dentist 3 times a year (instead of the recommended 2). I also undergo deep planing and root scaling every 5 or so years. This may be exactly what you need. DPRS consists of an peridontist or trained dental hygienist scraping the roots of your teeth with specialized instruments under local anesthesia. Nitrous oxide or a sedative may also be administered.
