Went to Dentist today and said I had a cavity below the gum line and possible bone loss. Wants me to go to a Periodontist to separate my gums and deep clean to get to the cavity. Go for checkup every 6 months and first time he noticed this so it is probably not advanced. I have heard gum stretching and deep cleaning was very painful. I hate pain. Any imput?

I had to do a deep cleaning once and it’s part of the reason I quit dipping. They actually gave me shots to numb my mouth as they did the cleaning. I can’t remember exactly how many shots I got, but it was more than just a few. Since my entire mouth was numb I didn’t really feel the cleaning, but the next day was horrible.

Just hope you don't wake up early and catch the dentist zipping his pants up. On a more serious note.. that sucks. Every time I go get a cleaning they want to set me up for a fake tooth in the back. I tell them NO..whats the point?

Good that you quit dipping Jay now start flossing as well so you don't have to get the deep cleaning later

If you're being honest and you get a cleaning every 6 months then no, it won't be painful. I went to a periodontist for a few years and it was never any worse than a regular cleaning. I went because my dentist was concerned about bone loss. Turned out it wasn't that big of a deal. I began taking better care of my teeth by using a water pick and electric toothbrush and everything has been fine since.

It’s been a good 12-13 years since I last dipped.
