Mouth cleaning with motivational support for gum disease
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests if adding motivational interviewing—a counseling style that helps you stay motivated—to standard deep cleaning of the gums improves outcomes for people with gum disease. The goal is to see if this extra support helps you keep your gums healthier after treatment.
