Re: My (Neverending) Journey (comments & PMs wel
Congratulations Kemmie
So it was a problem with your gum...you would have thought that could have been spotted a bit sooner...poor you....you really had a hardtime of it, I remember.
Sounds like you've found a good dentist now. The cleaning was probably with an 'ultrasonic scaler' rather than the scraper thing.
I think the recent consensus on here has been that either method can be comfortable...it depends who is using them and how gentle they are.....I have personally found this to be the case....and last time I went both were used comfortably.
Nice to get some good news on here...I'm sure you will find that your fears lessen with time.
