So I had a deep cleaning this morning. I was on Valium during the procedure but I do remember everything. They put some pink gel on the left side of the mouth (on my top and bottom gums). The dentist came in and started on the right side (oops!). I guess she didn't realize the assistant didn't numb the right side!
Anyhow, the dentist used a spray to numb the right side. I heard some scraping noise. It wasn't on every tooth, but more like the inside near the tongue of maybe 8 tooths?
Afterward, the assistant came back in and polished my teeth.They said I have to come back in 2 weeks to finsh the deep cleaning..
Well my QUESTION is, they said it was a deep cleaning but it left more like a regular cleaning(even tho I never had a regular cleaning!). How long before my gums start to turn pink? As of now, they look exactly the same as before the deep cleaning!
Im at home now and i feel no pain. i noticed a little bleeding under 3 of my tooths. Also, some yellow between a few of my front teeth are still there and my gums look exactly the same... Is this normal??
