new dentist practicioner

[acorn54]

a new dentist took over my old dentists practice and he operates differently in that he performs more dental care such as measuring the gum pockets which my previous dentist did not do
he sold me a water pik and said that i need to come in every 3 mos for a cleaning instead of 6 mos. as my gum line is recessed
is this just a gimmick or are my teeth in danger.

I would not like to comment on other dentist's diagnosis but I have never asked any of my patient to come for a scaling in 3 months. Once in 6 months is more than sufficient.

ask him first why he is doing so. if you dont get a good reply, then maybe it's time to speak out
