Dear Dr. Pollak DMD PC,
During dental Prophylaxis (Cleaning), I/Caregiver understand that it involves removing plaque and calculus above the gum line and will not include gum infections below the gum line called periodontal disease. I understand bleeding could last several hours. Should it persist, or is severe then you should receive attention immediately and this office must be contacted.
Exam and X-rays
I understand that the initial visit as well as recall appointments may require radiographs in order to complete the examination, diagnosis and treatment plan.
