Hello
A few years ago I visited a peridontitis specialist for detailed examination and x-ray, the specialist suggested that I had early periodontal disease where deep scaling is necessary. After that, I went for maintenance a couple of times every 1 to 3 months but then I stopped because of high cost and I did not have insurance. I've stopped now for three years, but I still visit general dentists every year for routine cleaning. But I have to confess that sometimes I am getting lazy and don't use interdental brushes to clean between tooth every day. Today between some of my tooth it bleeds when I use interdental brushes, it didn't happen before in the last 3 years.
Is my peridontal disease coming back ? Is it enough to visit only general dentists? Will they overlook the early periodontal disease? Because here the general dentists NEVER use probe or x-ray to me.
I really don't want to go to the specialist it's really a lot of money
