Hey everyone,
So I have my first deep cleaning appointment in a week. I’m 23 and my dentist said that my gums compare to a 40 year olds. I have one pocket that’s a little deeper than the rest of my lower mouth. I’m pretty damn nervous! I’ve done some research and have even read some threads on here that help put my mind at ease but I still can’t seem to stop thinking about it.
I think my biggest fear (other than bone loss) is somehow making it worse in this weeks worth of time before the procedure and am just hoping that the deep cleaning does in fact help my gums re-attach/stop the pockets from getting any deeper. I’m a medical marijuana patient and I know that smoking will probably cause more harm to my gums (even though it will help my anxiety during this time) so I’ve been driving my head through a wall trying to hold off on smoking for a while until all of this is over with.
If anyone has gone through this procedure, am I over thinking things or is this as serious as I’m taking it? Also how did you manage to not think about it 24/7 leading up to the appointment?
