Tosha Kozloski, RDH on Instagram: "“Just a couple of bleeding points” is rarely the full story.⁠ By the time we see bleeding on probing, there’s almost always generalized bleeding on scaling and that means infection, not isolated spots.⁠ ⁠ Oral infections don’t stay localized. If bacteria can travel to the brain, they can travel throughout the mouth.⁠ ⁠ That’s why the words we use matter. Patients deserve the truth, a clear diagnosis, and a plan that matches the reality of what’s happening.⁠ ⁠ #
