[quote=harvey]I have a couple of good friends who are a dentist and hygienists, and we’ve discussed this one a few times.
In most instances, “deep cleaning” and similar procedures is just a revenue source for the dentist. I fell for it when I was young and didn’t know better.
If you’ve had the dentist for a while and trust them, then perhaps you really need it.
If you aren’t sure, get a second opinion.
In any case, you should probably floss more. ;)[/quote]
I floss everyday.I think it has to do with me being immune suppressed right now and skipping out on dental visits for the past year or so.
Deep cleaning means that they will get into the gums and do some cleaning.
The dentist also wanted to apply sealant to the rest of my molars to prevent caivities.
I don’t know…Sometimes when I walk into the dental office, I feel it’s worse than walking into a car shop.
Well, at least for me. A car shop, I know when the personal is bullshiting me….
I can’t tell at a dental office these days what is really needed and what isn’t sometimes.
