Benefits of deep periodontal scaling/cleaning
SRP is a treatment for a condition, if you don't have the condition, you
don't need it.
I just love pts. who don't follow my advice, they are like bank accounts
accruing interest, the more they wait, the more money either I or some
other Dr. will get. The sad part is that we can only patch up the damage,
nothing we do is as good as the original. So you end up paying through
your nose, being needlessly traumatized by more difficult treatment, and
getting a less ideal/comfortable result from same.
Wanna wait? Sure, go ahead...
