Hi,
I have recently had some dental work done (1 RC and handful of fillings). My dentist says that I need a deep cleaning under the gums. While I am sure this is the case, I am a little concerned that she said it can be done in one hour with no numbing. I confirmed that this is NOT any kind of laser or special treatment. On one hand (because I have anxiety when it comes to my teeth) I am questioning how it can be done in one hour where as everything else I have read says 2-4 sessions. Also, everything else says you are numbed (which I am sure I would prefer because I don't mind needles). My dentist said "if we numb patients, sometimes it goes too deep". My thought is, "Does it have to be painful to know you have gone too far?"
One the other hand, maybe mine isn't AS bad?!
Lastly, she is only charging me $400. My understanding is normally this is about $1,000. While money is a factor, is something like LANAP much better than this treatment?
Thanks
