@Aditi Banga I’m sorry to hear that you had a rough time with that gum procedure!

I’ve had a few deep cleanings and they’re nothing to worry about! They’ll probably numb you up but that’s the worst part and it lasts just a second. I didn’t know they were even different from regular cleanings when I first started getting them. I guess the numbing should have been my clue You’ll do great! When is your cleaning?

After 3 weeks I wish my experience goes better this timee.

@Aditi Banga I just had a deep clean first time in my life. I was worried that it would be painful. But the dentist numbs your gum. You barely feel anything. And to get honest, it happened so fast and you can really feel the difference after cleaning.
