Hi
I recently went to dentist as I broke a tooth and dentist told me I need a filling and a deep clean as I have early stage gum disease. I made a follow up appointment to get the filling and the first session of deep cleaning done - but getting more terrified as the day get near. I have now cancelled the deep cleaning as the thought of what they will be doing is just terrifying me. I read the article here on deep cleaning, but it doesn't really explain how they get up under the gum and this is the bit that terrifies me. can anyone give me more detail? do they cut the gums? pull them away from the teeth? ah the thought of either of those ...... any help/info appreciated. (p.s. I am not dentist phobic - but not too far away from it following an experience years ago). thanks.
