Is there any bone loss or infection?
I got infection in my gum couple of months ago, was suggested to get deep cleaning twice post that it has been okayish but I still feel there is some gum infection as I get bleeding once in a while. I got a opt xray today. Do I have bone loss or infection now in teeth also?
I have attached the photo of the x ray.

Hi,
Are you having any pain or discomfort after the deep cleaning procedure.
You need to maintain a good oral hygiene and get a professional cleaning every 6 months.
