The dentist looked at my teeth and said "you need a deep cleaning, boy, that's gonna hurt" I looked at him and said "oh no it's not, because I'm not going to get it done" :P
The worst part was that the cavitron shoots out so much water in your mouth and the suction thing sucks at getting all of it out so you end up having to swallow water and/or take breaks so you can empty your mouth every minute or so. But none of it is painful... just a little annoying. Oh and it cost me $75 per quadrant at my local dental school. Not expensive at all and that is with no insurance.
I had this done today and it didn't hurt at all. They put topical gel on my gums for the injections and I didn't even know she was putting the needle in. Then the novacaine shots completely numbed up my teeth so I didn't know she was so deep under my gums... it just felt like she was cleaning the surface above the gum. Then after the novacaine wore off I had absolutely no pain, sensitivity, or soreness. In fact my teeth felt better because there wasn't huge chunks of calculus jammed in my gum
I just had this done on half of my mouth. My gums are now bloody and I have to take ibuprofen as soon as I can feel my face fully because I feel discomfort.
I descaled 6 people till now, some with manual, some with ultrasonic scaler. but the ultrasonic way is much safer....and better,,even much better than the laser one in my opinion
I have a tip for all of you who are complaining that this procedure hurts after the anesthetic wears off...brush and floss your teeth! SRP (scaling & root planing) is the hard part...for you and the hygienist. Trust me, I know! Afterwards, if you keep up on your homecare and your 3-6 month appts for cleanings, you will be golden! It's so much easier if you keep up on your oral health than trying to get you back into health. Only floss the teeth you want to keep =)
@PandaBear2700 Yeah bad oral habits have gotten me to gum disease at 18. And not having dental insurance for most of my life. I really need this done. My hygienist says if I don't I'm looking at losing my teeth in my 20s. Just wish this procedure wasn't so damn expensive lol..
@neecee401100 hey dentists will charge you a ton to scale your teeth. look for a dental hygiene school - they give the same service for much lower cost. scaling in my area is about $200 per quadrant which means i'd have to cough up about $800 for this procedure...found a local dental hygiene school - $34 dollars for the whole procedure! just check with local universities!!
eek. just had this done today!!!! the numbing shot is wearing off and i'm starting to feel what they were doing to me!!!! they only did one half of my mouth, still have to go back and get the other half done.:(
@tinkleferry1 yikes! i have to go tomorrow and have my first session done..i'm getting a numbing shot as well...how bad does it hurt? i'm so scared..:(
@JennayRae they should rub your gums down with a novicane type cream first so that you don't feel the shot in the gum. i didn't feel it. only when the numbing werars off after the procedure is done, is when i could feel that they scraped at my gums and in between my teeth. you may need to take a ibuprofen a day or so after its done and they will prob only do half your mouth. it takes like 2 hours. then the dental hygenist is the one who does it but the dentis gives you the shot.
@RomneyPHONY Tartar is possible on a raw vegan diet. As long as there is a source of sugar for the plaque bacteria. Minerals from saliva harden plaque into tartar over time, and while crunchy foods may help remove plaque from tooth surfaces, some will remain. It's important to maintain a good level of hygiene (brushing correctly and flossing) whatever your diet. A problem some vegans have is getting enough dietary calcium, so that's something to be aware of. :)
fruit has sugar... sugar causes bacteria... bacteria adheres to the surface of the tooth via stains or whatever.. and if it is not brussed or flossed... plaque.. or i guess tartar happens... it doesn't matter if its raw..organic.. or vegan....
This is an old school video . He is not fulcruming at all so they can videotape. periodental file is not used anymore sickle scaler on root debridement will cause so much pain and bleeding. Nowadays minis are used for this type of mild furcation involvement
That is called Ultrasonic scaler or Randomly Cavitron. It removes up to 70-80% of calculus and is preferable used for gross quantity of calculus. Hand Scraping is the best and most accurate way to clean your teeth but unfortunately dentistry is a business more then a human profession today. The dentist will not give you more then 45 minutes of cleaning.. All they do today is just cavitron so they can finish fast.
