  • no it not u dumb hs graduate im a hygienist it require scaling and root planing .after that we put antibiotic and liquid irrigation then we put antiobotic gel on it . deep cleaning it mostly scaling root planing liqiud irrigation wash all the germ out  then they put antibiotic gel on there it not easy ppl need to go to a periodontist

  • @LyeLye no calculus is tartar

  • @paintballwiz1983 Its a little too late...but it really depends on the dentist and the patient. Sometimes yes and sometimes no depending on your pain tolerance and whether you get it done at a periodontist or regular dentist.

  • i just had my first basic teeth cleaning they did not numb me i go back in a week for a deeper cleaning will they numb me then

  • Deep cleaning helps in keeping the cavities, tooth decay and gum diseases away.

    It is always good to have dental check ups regularly.

  • @LyeLye no.. not calcium, i meant calculus.. I'm not a dental student but i'm sure calculus is the term they use for particles from anything like food that we chew, that don't give any benefit, stacks up or creating layers on the teeth. causing it to appear not clean, feels not clean.

  • @bra13vo calculus? dont you mean calcium?

  • go back to school

  • i would give michelle a deep fucking loool

  • My gums has been bleeding for almost two weeks now everytime i brushes.

    it's on my anterior mandibula parts. the incisors, especially the canines (fangs) area.

    my friend (a dental graduate) says it's calculus, needed to be cleaned. true?
