Teeth Cleaning and Recession

[2003]

[Aajonus]

When you get cleanings, what happens, they take the knife way down here, they keep cutting.

How much recession do you think is caused by cleaning? Most of it. When I stopped having cleanings done on my teeth, the recession stopped. I stopped having cleanings in the late eighties, and then I only had one in 1979.

1978 when I had all my amalgams taken out and had mostly composites put back in seven root canals, and crowns. And then I had another cleaning in the mid eighties and I go to a dentist every once in a while, just to have them check the pocket depth to see it hasn't grown. Hasn't gone any lower than 1 in 10 years.

Well, just brush with the right food, brush with the right foods.
