Hello, I'm planning to do a scaling for my teeth, does the local anesthetic used by the dentist can interact with Benzodiazepines?

[@sawyersgirl5142]

I feel like deep cleaning should be covered as preventative care at 100% along with crowns.

[@AshSC17]

A deep cleaning is not preventative care - disease process (periodontitis) has already occurred that needs to be stopped with Scaling & Root Planing (SRP). It is NOT gingivitis. A preventative cleaning (Prophylaxis) has 1-4mm pockets, no bone loss. Also dental providers do not make the rules with dental insurance; you or your HR department does. The more expensive procedures require more extensive care due to disease progression. This applies to all things health care.

[@dollyscarz8295]

In 99% of cases, if people properly performed oral care, they wouldn't need a deep cleaning.

Had my first deep cleaning today and it was absolutely painless. My dentist even me several times to raise my hand if I need a short break.. but there’s literally no pain. Turning 27 this year and had no bone loss which I was most worried about. But everyone - stay on top of your teeth! Just after the one side getting done, the difference feels night and day.

[@ghostlyghoulie]

@@daniella8400hello there, that might be true now but it wasn’t when I was at an age where dental care was essential! The equal care act wasn’t established in my state until 2012 (I was 9), and even then there were still things the insurance foster care offered didn’t cover until I was much older; they’ve added more to that act and now anyone who has that insurance (or plain state coverage) can receive the care they need without having to worry about affordability. Thank you for your input though, and thank you for the work you do!

[@daniella8400]

@@ghostlyghoulie dental care is essential once you start growing teeth. Again, children in custody get full medical care for any and everything even braces if needed. The care act has nothing to do with because foster kids get Medicaid and that’s been around way before the care act. It’s more seems whoever has you in their care neglected your teeth

[@ghostlyghoulie]

@@daniella8400 you must not have read my initial comment. ‘I didn’t have dental insurance UNTIL I got it through FOSTER CARE’. I never said i didn’t receive any care quite the opposite actually; I had foster insurance through foster adoption up until I turned 21- I know how it works, and I’ve read the addendums. I was well cared for, so if you have a problem (Because I don’t) you should take it up with the government for not covering necessary medical care sooner. Also; I said ‘foster care insurance’ because that’s what I had through foster adoption even though I was placed with family so I never got medicaid I got medical in 2010 when pediatric dental coverage was included in the equal care act.

Most people probably won't be that bad. They also did laser treatment on my gums when they were finished to make sure all the bacteria was gone, which was just a little tickly/itchy.

[@kimberlycoltrainrsrccr2626]

I'm still wondering about why I see the pressurized spray used with biofilm dye on ppl with severe build-up but I have yet to find a dentist that will use it. Maybe it's more $$for them to subject patients to the scraping and needles, but seems a little antiquated. If something can be done more efficiently & still as effectively (or better) why not? Just sad it seems more about the $$than the patient's overall health (including mental). It's like it's not acknowledged that better methods exist and since we're lay people we'll just take what's given without question.😔

[@ariesspring2161]

Why do you hate brushing your teeth?

[@ignightroad]

Have had this done several times, my most recent being yesterday (and another in two weeks). If you get the numbing gel you WILL feel it on the problem teeth, where gums are inflammed or big pockets. However, for half the mouth it takes about an hour and other than the drill sound of the water spray, there's really no pain. There might be some uncomfortable feelings from the scraping pick but it's nothing. Your teeth MAY be wiggly for a few days so be sure to stick to soft food diets on that side while it heals. procedure sounds scary but it's really no big deal, I promise. Take deep breaths and give your dentist a signal if you need a break. Try and relax with some music.

She just look at my file and said that I haven't had a deep cleaning in two years and I was do for one. Then they didn't want to use anesthesia even after I ask. The person doing it said that he was very gentle and it wasn't going to hurt, but if it started hurting then he'll use it. And of course, the moment he poke me it hurt. So he end it up using anesthesia in my whole mouth. I had it done in both sides. My mouth was numb for about 3 hours and since it was early I didn’t have breakfast 🥲 after the procedure was done I didn’t get a polished nor did I get an appointment for it. It wasn't offered. I wasn't measured after either. I was just told to come back in 3 months for a clean up. I asked if I could use the waterpik and he said yes. So later at night whe I used it, I was bleeding like crazy. So I used salt water after. But I wasn't given instructions of what to do after, I had to ask.

They should have def measured your gums but as far as polishing, polishing is not recommended to be done after a deep cleaning as the pumice can get underneath the gums and cause more inflammation. If your gum health improves by your 3 month periodontal maintenance, then they can polish then.

I’m going in soon for a dental cleaning, I more comfortable going in after this video lol thank you!

[@Project57-pgs]

As far as the numbing of the teeth with Novacaine, you really don’t have to do it. I used an acupuncture treatment yesterday and it worked great with minimal pain. Best of all I didn’t have to worry about biting my tongue or feeling extra pain when the numbness were off.

[@carlexus3133]

Whr they do that at

[@devinpeirce7152]

Do they ask if you want the numbing agent ? Cuz I dont want that

[@YLZN0013]

Thank you! This video provided me the full scope of what should be done when recieving this service. Anything less is unacceptable.

[@aishazehra842]

You explain with the right positive energy! Big big appreciation for the knowledge! I have a question... Is there any way to refill the small gaps we get in between teeth after scaling?

Having my 1st of 2 sessions today after 6+ yrs without visiting the dentist (what a shame!), but will hopefully get back on track.

[@biggishlifting2590]

How did it go, I have mine tomorrow, as well I only have one cavity they said they did not see any decay and they did not say anything about bone loss but I do have bone loss another dentist show me on my xrays all he said I need was a deep cleaning nothing to worry about

[@biggishlifting2590]

They are giving me med for gingivitis irritation

[@bpmotion]

@@biggishlifting2590 I’ll say it wasn’t fun but they can control any pain by numbing you up, and didn’t need Tylenol afterwards. Since then, I had another visit for regular cleaning and it was quick and painless. Already scheduled to go back in 4 months. Back on track and healthy. Good luck, will definitely worth it in the long run!

just had my first of 2 sessions, no where near as bad as i thought, they used local anaesthesia and it was fine

[@kathyverrelli5170]

Most insurances only cover 6 mth cleanings so be prepared to foot the extra costs for the 3 mth or 4 mth cleaning. If you don't do the required 3 or 4 mth service you may be requested to sign a waiver.

There was a time, depending on dental office, the hygienist would include scaling as part of general routine exam. Scaling as part of routine cleaning should prevent ever having to need a deep clean. In all my 60 years, I have never been told that I need a deep clean, until I moved to Houston. Unless you just want a deep clean, I say get a second opinion before dishing out hundreds of dollars.

[@gailcole9913]

Right! They make 3-4x as much as a regular cleaning. I refuse. Was told I needed it then by another dentist no. The younger dentists are telling everyone they need it. $1000 in Ohio, insurance paying 80% Get a second opinion. Very few people need 3-4 month dental appts. and deep cleanings.

[@angeliqueduvois]

The whole dentistry is a scam now too much moola for big houses, fancy cars, and paying for their college

[@angeliqueduvois]

This woman is way too happy for this super scary procedure

[@karimaogden3875]

Agree! She is always like this though! Very giddy and jittery and her body movements and the way her mouth twists when she talks is very distracting to me. As far as this procedure, I guess it's easy for her to be so non chalant because she's probably never had (and will never have to have it) since she was born with breat teeth!

[@justincanino8521]

I had this performed today and i have to say it was very nervous as it was a very very long time since i need to a dentist and after watching your video i feel i was prepared for my appointment knowing what to expect .. he used the water jet cleaner and i now have gaps in between my teeth again and my mouth feels weird in a good way .. the whole process was painless .. i have booked in for my next 6 monthly clean.. now to find your video on water flossing

[@dingdong6005]

How are you doing now? My dentist suggested deep cleaning.

[@prettymagnoliasj]

I have a severe/advanced case of periodontal disease and went in for my first deep cleaning in October, I can say that I'm comfortably back to normal eating and chewing just now almost two months later. I get that for most people, this is not the case. But just wanted to point out that if you have an advanced stage of PD, you're more than likely not going to go back to normal eating right away.

[@baileysice2715]

2 months??? Omg!! how did cope with eating? Did you have loose teeth? Did they firm back up? Did you have scaling or the airflow cleaning? Have you had any antibiotics? I'm recently diagnosed and was aiming to have a deep early next week, l have sensitivity everywhere and molars that move ☹

[@TheDenizxo]

I think I have this problem. My gums burn so bad everyday and flossing it how many times doesn't give the full relief just a bit. Thier red and inflamed. May I ask what wss ur symptoms of the disease.

[@TheDenizxo]

@@baileysice2715 have you gone to the deep cleaning yet & how are you ?

[@bestcoastbeads]

@@TheDenizxo I have early stage gum disease and my symptoms are visibly red and puffy gums, as well as subtle gum recession. They hurt sometimes but nothing bad. I have a few pretty deep pockets and have deep clean 1 of 4 coming up in a week.

[@bestcoastbeads]

@@TheDenizxo I also always had a hard time with bleeding when flossing before my gums got bad. I’ve been using coco floss and a sonicare brush for a week now with VERY minimal bleeding. I was also prescribed super high fluoride toothpaste to help with the gum disease and strengthen my teeth. I was a sugary drink addict and have really bad acid erosion on my front teeth that need pretty intense crowns, and I can’t start that process until my gums are healthier. I was SO scared to go to the dentist and hadn’t been in 12 years 😅😬 getting on track now

Thank you so much for this I am really scared and my teeth are pretty bad he said last time I ran and canceled all appointments years ago. O_O

[@brucebond7723]

My dentist is recommending a deep cleaning and root planing. I have 5mm pockets around some of the molars and no other symptoms. From what I have learned, deep cleaning and root planing is indicated for the pockets. They are also recommending Laser Assisted Periodontal Therapy to kill bacteria. What is Laser Assisted Periodontal Therapy and do you recommend it? Yay or Nay?

[@SISI-q1l]

I was told I need a deep cleaning on both lower quadrants, scheduled for an hour. Was told I'd have to come back for a "regular" cleaning for the top. The hygienst applied topical numbing. When she looked in my mouth I got the impression that she wasn't really seeing much. Seemed like a pretty standard cleaning to me, in fact not the most thorough I have ever had. I was out of the chair in less than 30 minutes, including cleaning of my upper teeth and polishing of all teeth. I expressed my confusion and concern about what treatment I actually needed and that I was being overcharged, $260 for a "deep cleaning".

[@Ajayy714]

What if i did the full mouth cleaning in one appointment . Was that a good option ?

[@AprilLashon]

[@unknown_7148]

I had an ultrasonic cleaning last week and even though I've been flossing really well it was still sore on my gums

[@user-le7so8sw8j]

Nice! But make sure they also use instruments. Ultrasonic is a machine that removes tartar and shoots water at the same time. After a dental hygienist uses that he or she must use instruments in order to be consider a through cleaning Beware some dentist do cleanings and a half ass job just so they dont hire a dental hygienist.

I had my deep cleaning done today. My dentist numbed my mouth pretty well so l didn’t feel anything. The right side will get done in 1 week. I have periodontitis so this procedure will get done twice per year. The numbing has worn off and l feel no pain.

[@frankmontez6853]

I had a deep cleaning due to neglect of oral health for many years. They did it with one basic overall cleaning and my other ones were divided into four sections requiring a visit for each one. Hey I got to warn others about so so cleaning brushing once a day not going to hygienist or dentist regularly. You can lose some teeth and serious gum disease. I did. Go to dental exams and cleanings.

[@zachariah1990]

The only part you got wrong is bone can be regrown by a periodontist. How they do it is they draw blood and separate it in a machine and then they put it into the bone and regrow the bone around the teeth to make it strong again. I can’t remember exactly how it’s done but it’s something along those lines. The pockets will heal up once the bone is restored.

[@drinkinouttacups2665]

Platelet rich fibrin?

[@teamichigo75]

Would you recommend to do fillings before or after getting a deep cleaning? I'm debating atm

[@stephenmartin9393]

Growing up I could never remember being numbed up for any kind of cleaning. My dentist did not have an oral hygienist so he did everything himself. Most of the time if I had a cavity he would never numb the tooth either. I think that my dentist was a beast.

[@tylerbhumphries]

This is why a lot of us fear going to the dentist as adults because we had painful experiences as children. Last year I broke a tooth and had to have an emergency root canal and crown implanted. The dentist made me feel safe and he numbed me up. I didn’t feel a thing. I’ve been going back to that office regularly for the past year. I’m finally getting me teeth together. Thankfully, they weren’t too messed up but I’m going in for a deep cleaning in a week because prior to breaking that tooth, I hadn’t been to a dentist in over a decade. Some of it was fear and some of it was the financial strain but I can definitely say doing preventive/maintenance work is much cheaper than having to replace a tooth for $1000 which is what I paid out of pocket for root canal and crown AFTER insurance.

[@herbster22]

You said we can't grow bone back ?? What about the Lanap laser for deep cleaning and at the same time bone regrowth does supossedly grow back for several years??

[@TeethTalk]

yessss there are rare cases (like LANAP) where I have seen it grow back. but it has to be in veryyyy specific situations, so I'm careful to not say it as a generalized statement. hope this helps!

[@luca.1992]

This is really weird for me, personally, as I'd just completed my first deep cleaning last week. It's a mandatory procedure to familiarize with to prevent ALL around health decline.. my immediate question is what do I do about the new misalignment following both of my initial appointments? Lateral incisors are now first contact when I bite, and the molars just won't.

[@ariesspring2161]

Wait, the deep cleaning moved your teeth??

[@luca.1992]

@@ariesspring2161 I have no idea. I'm no expert on these things. All I have are questions. Here's what I suspect : the calculus removal which gave way to newly formed small pockets and bit of bone loss (just the tip of bone, due to periodontitis, not the deep cleaning) made way for my teeth to shift out of place even slightly. That slight shift messed with my bite, and I can't get braces now because I have to tend to my gums so much.

[@alllovehere1107]

I just had a deep cleaning lol. They did the full mouth in one day it was a 2 hour appointment . I got 4 shots and anthesia
