QUERY REGARDING GENUINENESS OF TREATMENT
I visited a Dentist yesterday and he told me that first he'll clean my teeth thrice at different intervals and will then go for scaling.
My teeths have turned yellow with brown layer over it.
The doctor shows that he is graduated in RDS. What is RDS ?
What is OP?
Whether he is giving me the right treatment?
