The frequency will depend on your particular tendency for gum disease, but your dental hygienist will from time to time do a periodontal evaluation to determine the depth of the space between your teeth and your gums - receding gum tissue is typically a sign of impending periodontitis. If the measurements indicate an early stage of the disease, your dentist may recommend a scaling and root planing aka “deep cleaning” to prevent further infection.
