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?

get the nitrous oxide.

Dentists suck

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.

Sedation

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

tell me. could have bought a new boat for what it cost to get my wifes teeth fixed.

Drill Baby Drill

This is funny. I posted the same on Facebook and all I got was ads for Dentists

You sir are an Anti Dentite.

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.

My son was a toddler when I quit dipping and will be 15 on Friday. It’s been a good 12-13 years since I last dipped.
