thank you for sharing this! wishing you continued dental health!

[@GetWellSoonR.E.M.]

This channel has been such a big help for me! I had my first dental appointment in 6 years today and had to have a middle cleaning. Not a pleasant experience, but so worth it to fix how my teeth look and feel. I can’t stop staring at them and how great they look now! And the tips from your channel actually helped me get a good seal of approval from my hygienist and dentist! They were shocked, for all the build I had, what great shape my teeth and gums were in. I only had one slightly deeper than normal pocket. Thank you so so much for all this great content you provide for us 💕

Buy a water flosser/ water pic and use everyday. Quit smoking if you do smoke and X the sugary drinks. I know all of those are hard to quit but your gums will thank you. I am guilty of all of those things myself and that’s exactly why I pay thousands of dollars every year for my dental procedures.

Thank you for explaining how things work..

So I went to a dentist for a checkup for the first time in more than a decade and that was about 13 years ago and he just got stuck in and gave me a deep clean, I had a ton of tartar which I never even knew I had, wasnt what I would call painful or anything but he was scraping around the teeth for a good hour. Luckily he said it was not serious, but if left untreated, over time it would lead to serious gum disease, The tartar seemed to come back again at my next visit, but since then ive never had the need to have a deep clean, so i must be doing something right!

[@cosmicbodyguards4285]

See if you can get laser gum treatments. He will essentially burn under your gum line (doesn't hurt much at all) and it stimulates gums to create scabs (which I know sounds disgusting) but it causes the gums to cling tighter to the bone & also get a good sonicare tooth brush. Invest in at least the $40 one but if you can get the better one that has the gum health function (~$80-100) get that one. It will last you at least 3 years but it will seriously heal up your gums and the tartar won't be able to build up under there. In the long run you'll be thanking yourself for the investment because you won't lose your teeth.

[@lebooshdiaries]

I've learnt so much from you Whitney. Here in my country, deep cleaning is called Root Planning or Root Surface Debridement. Middleman cleaning is often called deep cleaning by regular dentist and subgingival scaling by my periodontist. And regular cleaning sometimes can clean into subgingival area as well. As you can imagine, it's all very confusing when you call up the dentist and the receptionist say Yes! We do deep cleaning. But their deep cleaning is just slightly below gum line. Not the deep cleaning as you mentioned here, which is called Root Planing/Root Surface Debridement. I wish everyone in every country just sticks to the same name as per described by you.

[@SD-co9xe]

I had one four . I am going hard core. Flossing, brushing, mouthwash, water pik, flouride gel and special toothpaste.

Hearing that you can be numbed for a deep clean and break it up is making me now look for a new dental practice. I was made to feel that I was a baby. It did hurt

Yes, a syringe in the gums sucks! But yes, you definitely have to be numb for this procedure as the mouth is very sensitive to high pressure water

[@ChrissonatorOFL]

When I went to the dentist last last month, my hygienist performed a debridement, while not a full cleaning, she said she wanted to see if that would negate the need for a deep cleaning. :) You're right about the x-rays... one of my upper molars look perfect from the outside, but underneath the filling, there's a problem area, so she was surprised when I said I didn't feel any sensitivity, etc. with the tooth.

[@moisdawg]

deep cleaning is also expensive as hell compared to regular. motivated me to take better care of my mouth at least

I had a deep scale and planing done 2 months ago, after 2 years without a hygienist appointment. I was offered no numbing at all. It was all done in one session and OMG, when I got home I felt like I had been punched in the face!!! I had to take 2 ibuprofen and go to bed for a couple of hours and feel sorry for myself 😂 I also had an x-ray done 2 weeks ago which showed minimal bone loss and long healthy roots and the good news is, I went back to the hygienist today and she was really impressed by my cleaning and maintenance. She said my gums had tightened up already and the cleaning was a LOT less painful. I’m down for regular 3 monthly sessions for now to keep on top of it.

[@cosmicbodyguards4285]

In 2016-17 I underwent a few Lazer gum treatments where he essentially burned my gums to stimulate healing & also got several custom crowns. Oh yeah! I also got all 4 impacted wisdom teeth removed surgically! I also bought the world's most expensive toothbrush which was like more than $200 (sonicare lol) from the dentist and my mouth was in seriously amazing shape! For a time ... I went thru a divorce, took opioids for a year, and started smoking again and omg the damage happened so fast. I think my sonicare saved me from tooth loss but now I am taking it very seriously because I'm in my mid 30's and have endured agony from tooth decay around those neglected crowns. Thankfully, getting those wisdom teeth taken out allowed my teeth to naturally space out some so a big portion of my gums do not have deep pockets. But the molars are not good. Ive since quit all the smoking and other nonsense. Living healthier. Still use my sonicare. I know my tooth hygiene routine is more involved than most people. I brush 2-3 times per day with stannous flouride toothpaste (paridontax to ease pain.) water floss and regular floss and gum stimulation. I was able to get 2 root canals approved by insurance just waiting for that special dentist to have my appointment. The dentists keep convincing me to keep my two problem teeth in the back. I have begged them to pull them out for me to stop the periodic pain. They have told me to be patient because the root canals will be worth it. I guess losing those teeth will change my face structure & possibly hurt the teeth around it. Does anyone know if that's true?

[@LawrenceCaplan]

Experienced 'Deep Cleaning' for my very first time by dental hygienist following dentists novocaine oral vaccinations, was quite painful where I felt the needle was in my gums for way too long, and then another shot following 5 - 10 min. I was also surprised by the financial cost, i was expecting somewhere just under ( $ 350 ) however no way I had to pay ( $ 575 ) cash on hand with no dental insurance, my Dentist was my Hispanic neighbors friend who pursuaded me to go through this dental practice for future gum disease prevention and prevention of tooth decay. Things felt good following Deep Cleaning appointment, to visit my Dentist once in every four months for cleaning and a checkup for ( $ 100 ) per-dental-visit, and he tells me it's a friendly favor he does to his family and relatives. Idk at this point whether I'd go through Deep Cleaning for a long time, as I believe once in five years is enough. It's not for everyone, especially for those with a tight budget towards dentistry

[@NYCKILLA9568]

I'll be having the deep cleaning and I'm nervous I had PTSD from dental trauma. I also have a heart mumur and although I'm 47 I still need to take the antibiotics before the deep cleaning and of course my anxiety meds ..I'm really nervous but also feeling very courageous. Because years ago I wanted to do be in Entertainment, film theater and I use to do commercial modeling . But years later I was in a horrific car accident and lost my my front tooth I was 25 years old ..then I went to the dentists that a year later was sured for nsl practice ..in other words I wasn't the only patient that he injured both physically and mentally ..and every since then I became afraid ..no . Terrified of the dentist even getting X-rays would trigger me and cause me to cry . Luckily for me I have a dentist now where the whole office down to the janitor lol is sOOO kind and patient with me. They totally understand. And they are all watching my bravery progress 😊 I believe I'm in good hands .but alot of times people don't understand the story behind why someone lets their dental hygiene go . Before the trauma I would often get compliments on my smile , now I barely smile and have learned to even talk where my missing tooth doesn't show . But I trust that soon I'll be able to smile big again ..in fact I love smiling , laughing ..sometimes I feel guilty for being so afraid . I'm pretty courageous in all other areas of my life .but again , you just never know what a person has gone through. I can do social media very well because I can hide my smile or the condition of my teeth better . But in person there will be no meet and greets lol 😂 not till I get back my smile . It really has affected my self esteem although I'm attracted. Id much rather be healthy annnd attractive.

Hi Whitney. My dentist refused to clean some yellowish material (probably tartar) that was sitting on top of the very last molar tooth. He said cleaning that would result in sesitivity issues. My question is, should I see another dentist to get it cleaned? Or can it be removed by homecare itself?

[@0neInTheChambie]

Tartar cant be removed at home. If your current dental provider refuses to do it you can always ask another dentist (with the original dentist's concerns mentioned) for a second opinion. If this dentist is willing to do it and you have no issues with switching dentists then you do that. No use in staying with a dentist that does not listen to the patient's wishes.

[@lavellans]

Did it cost you more out of pocket?

[@budakai7996]

Each practice is different like how some dentists think some cavities are small or some think they are bigger, it’s up to their interpretation of your mouth not that they ripped you off more that that’s what they were trained in their dental school training. Some states teach different guidelines and not every hygienist you go to in your state graduated in your state. So different guidelines. Or newer and improved guide lines for newer graduates where more veteran hygienists are not updated to new information, could be either or.

I have a lot of bone loss caused from wearing orthodontics as a kid. Mainly on the bottom front teeth. But they said my roots are good. I have gum receding or higher pocket all around. Also they said caused by orthodontics. They haven’t recommended deep cleaning but just the regular 6 month cleaning. Is there anything else I can do? I do brush and floss regularly.

[@melodyproehl9841]

You are able to receive more frequent appointments to prevent build up in the pocket. Some patients request every 4 months (3x/yr) or every 3 months (4x/yr)- you may need to pay out of pocket for additional cleanings, but definitely worthy. Recommend - Electric toothbrush (Oral B or Sonicare)- gently rotating the bristles towards your gum line while brushing- when brushing near the gum line, your grip and pressure of your grasp on the toothbrush should be very light, flossing daily using the “c-shape” or “hugging” each tooth gently, Waterpik’s irrigate the gums with pressurized water, and using a good oral rinse. With the recession, recommend getting fluoride treatment every time you go to the dentist in order to protect the exposed root surfaces and the enamel of the crown. Calculus will harbor quicker in more porous areas, such as exposed root surfaces.

[@JShawnPaul]

Where does the full mouth debridement fit in? I thought this was in between the regular cleaning and RSP cleaning.

[@TeethTalk]

Think of the full mouth debridement as a preparatory procedure that helps clear the way for accurate diagnoses and further treatments if needed! Below is the code description -- hope this helps! Full Mouth Debridement (D4355): This is done when a patient has significant tartar buildup that makes it difficult for the dentist or hygienist to accurately evaluate the health of the gums and teeth. It’s typically a first step to remove heavy deposits and allow for a clearer assessment of the gums before proceeding with further treatment, like a regular cleaning or periodontal therapy.

[@JShawnPaul]

@@TeethTalk yes, I paid for several of these procedures, out-of-pocket as I did not have any dental insurance, and I wanted my gums to be better so I paid forever. I did several almost to Bremen’s and they wanted it to go even cleaner so they sent me to a periodontist to get the RSP done and upon that visit they were mad at me and wrote a letter to my Dentist on how bad I was and I don’t know like I feel Dentist just want everybody’s mouth to be perfect but I feel 0% pain, so what is the problem.

[@ArtstradaMagazine]

I caution anyone that your Dental coverage may not cover 100% deep cleaning and this may cause the facility to have you sign a promise to pay including a 3rd party credit form where you will incur a hard inquiry on your credit report. You may have easily covered such costs with your credit card. The facility may obscure this fact. Be diligent. Present your credit card for additional costs. You probably don't need the credit application for service in a normal cleaning scenario.

Does deep cleaning hurt

[@winklepicking3202]

Does anyone know what this lady means by pockets, is it how far in you can take your floss to the middle of the tooth?

[@TeethTalk]

there's a natural space between your gums and your tooth (called the sulcus) and it should be between 1-3mm. if it's higher than 4mm, then it's oftentimes called a pocket. floss properly cleans the sulcus but it can't properly reach down into pockets. here's a video of mine that explains more -- hope this helps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGa7k42wbZisqqc

Thank you very much indeed for your advice and videos my hygienist said that my dental status is now excellent(used yo be below average) 👏 THANK YOU

[@TeethTalk]

YAY! this makes me so happy! keep up the great work!

[@shimmer8289]

I go to a peridonist office the hygienist does a regular cleaning after a initisl deep cleaning a year ago after ovid. The regular ones are every 3 mo. And i still ended up with a cavity on my lower incisor 3 probe depth. My question is a cavity i read takes 6 mo to 5 yrs to develop. How did she not see it on prior cleanings? Note ive not had an xray in over a year. And i have deep pockets i was told due to meds i take it causes my gums to swell and increased tarter and I a bit of boneloss ????😮😮

Could be weakened enamel depends where the filling was recommended, might be due to attrition, and or abfraction (clinching and grinding)

[@shimmer8289]

@@budakai7996 I have it fixed apparently I had a root canal on my lower incisor I have no memory of nor does my dental office have a record. There was no crown a cavity formed atop it. The dentist filled it before realizing it was a root canal beneath. How weird I totally Remember my other two root canals. Makes me wonder even it was done snd where my brain was lol.

We had to move because we are a military family and I missed my last cleaning and now have to wait til November....I love getting my teeth cleaned and I am worried it about my gums

[@renay1291]

Generally its best not to miss a cleaning, but you can always take extra care of your oral hygiene at home, like floss regularly, brush after each meal or at least a mouth rinse, eat healthier foods and just show up for your next appointment, now if you are in rehabilitation for gingivitis or periodontal disease then try to show up always.

How much is deep cleaning with insurance

[@TeethTalk]

here's my deep cleaning cost video -- hope this helps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHPMmmymnMmBe7s

[@karimaogden3875]

A lot! I have good insurance and was quoted close to $800 back in 2015.They break it down by quadrants which are around $200 each.

[@musicgirl999]

Does scaling with the presence of gingival inflammation involve the patient having to come back for a separate appt?

[@TeethTalk]

sometimes yes for a followup 4-6wks later! every office might have slightly different protocols, however. hope this helps!

[@musicgirl999]

@@TeethTalk I mean for a separate appt if the person comes as a new patient and ends up being diagnosed with it.

[@melodyproehl9841]

@@musicgirl999 yes- usually the time is set for your first appt to do all assessments including a comprehensive examination which is a detailed exam. Establishing patients takes quite a bit of time and there may not be enough time for the hygienist for the schedule patient to complete the gingival inflammation cleaning. Typically a new patient appt includes full medical history and accuracy, blood pressure, oral cancer screening, periodontal charting, dental charting (any restorations or missing teeth present- which takes quite a bit of time, alone) full series X-rays (which can be 18-19 pictures- with time to process the X-rays if they are phosphor plates), reviewing these X-rays in great depth takes some time, intraoral pictures may be taken for establishing the beginning of your time at an office for documentation, sometimes a diagnodent is use to detect early cavities, then speaking with the dental team about the best treatment options for your case. The dentist (-mind you, while the hygienist is working, the dentist is more than likely in the middle of other procedures in another operatory, like doing fillings or crowns) then reviews every piece of documentation collected by the hygienist and checks every tooth individually. With all of the assessments that may be completed- the schedule may not be allotted for a gingival inflammation cleaning. Gingival inflammation cleaning =more bleeding which means more rinsing and suctioning. detecting buildup which is covered by the inflammed gums takes more precision than a typical cleaning as the buildup is scattered and not just in one spot on the tooth. Yes, prophylaxis cleanings are precise, but by this point, patients are established and the hygienist is able to complete the cleaning in the allotted time. Once the treatment is planned for a gingival inflammation cleaning- the front desk has to get confirmation with the insurance and evidence for why this treatment was decided, that it is okay to proceed as this is a different cost and this should be reviewed prior to proceeding so the patient is aware of the APPROXIMATE out of pocket cost. Many times hygienists are given only 60-80 mins for a new patient. And when splitting up all the procedures, this would leave MAYBE AT MOST - 20 mins to complete a cleaning after assessments. I hope this helps.

[@akcirapoo3569]

This is always so interesting......

[@JSTravis112]

Man.. I’m not gonna lie I have never been good at taking care of my teeth. Gingivitis at 14, again at 17 I think, periodontal disease after and since the first cleaning at 14 I thought I was doing good! I just hated flossing (I have very tight crowding so even healthy gum flossing can be painful if I’m not careful) It’s just so confusing. Can’t see in my mouth so idk. I’m also confused why I never have cavities… atleast I’m trying to do better every time they say I’m not doing a good job lol

[@surijo5399]

Hello! Have you tried various floss brands? Try waxy one if you haven't. I have tight spacing too, and I use Glide cos that's the only brand that manages to slip through lol 😂 I suppose your eating habit doesn't include sugar and residue that much? Nice to know you don't have cavity issue! It's a problem if not treated early. 😅

[@shelleyevans1261]

I just got a deep cleaning with no pain shots or anything rubbed on my gums and it was ferocious afterwards I was doing okay during the deep cleaning but no after care was given or polishing because I can't use mint so now I got home and I am hurting so bad I don't want any harsh pain killers I am scared to take a OTC 😢 Tylenol due to my kidneys but that scraping and drill was going at it for awhile and I gave natural birth with nothing my gums are bleeding please help and let me know what to do

I went for a deep cleaning and after the second half of my mouth was done I been for the last 3 months with dry mouth and cannot taste food, I ask the Dr what's going on and they keep saying they never came across anything like this, do you have an idea on why I cannot taste flavors after the procedure? (is not covid, please), and also why I have dry mouth after?. Thank you for your answer!!!.

Question, does being left handed effect being a dental hygienist?

[@kt3216]

No! Just look at the operatory set up when applying for jobs to see if you’ll have room on the opposite side. I’m a hygienist and I work with a left handed hygienist. I also had left handed instructors in school.
