Persistent bad breath that doesn’t go away after brushing is often a sign of bacterial buildup or gum disease. Bleeding gums when you brush or floss, tooth sensitivity to hot or cold foods, and visible tartar or yellowish deposits along the gumline are all red flags that a professional cleaning is overdue. You should also pay attention to gum swelling or redness, loose teeth, or any pain when chewing. If it’s been more than six months since your last visit, that alone is reason enough to book an appointment.
