Periodontist

I saw Dr. Jones today at Batz & Weiner Dental Clinic. The dentist who cleaned me teeth said I needed to see him. It turned out I didn't. However, I learned that because my gums had been so badly infected, I would need to see him about cleaning my teeth as he can go below the gum line and make sure the infections don't come back. A regular dentist works only above the gum line. I also talked with him about getting my teeth cleaned every 3 months. I'm lazy about flossing. By going in every 3 months, I can make up for my lack of flossing and make sure my teeth don't get so bad again.
