Question: My dentist said I might need scaling and root planning and didn't explain it I'm scared now...help anyone?
Answers:

Scaling and root planing is just a deep cleaning under the gum line.

They numb you, so you don't feel it. But, it does sound terrible. Your mouth will be a little sore for a day or 2 afterward, but it's like having a pizza burn.

They'll do half of your mouth at a time.

I just had it done back in October, I promise, it's not bad.

Your teeth may also be a little sensitive to temperature for a week or so. Everything I put in my mouth at the time had to be lukewarm.



Be scared, I hate going to the dentist just to clean my teeth. In fact I **** myself just waiting in the room. Everything about the dentist is scary and painful. I dont care what anyone else thinks. So I cant help you.
