Teeth cleanings are actually very important, as oral health can impact systemic/overall health. Bacteria in the mouth, which everyone has, has been linked to cardiovascular disease in patients who are not doing a good job of home care, flossing, and having their teeth cleaned. 

Also, those who have more long term gum tissue problems, like periodontal disease, are more likely to experience severe complications if they become infected with Covid-19. 

It is always easier for the patient to address issues and concerns earlier than later.  Please give us a call if you would like to have your oral and gum tissue health assessed.
