I'm only 22 this year. All along, I've been brushing my teeth regularly. I don't smoke/ drink/ take any medications. But awhile ago, I wanted to get braces done only to realize that I'm down with periodontal disease when the X-ray was taken. Apparently, no dentist is able to explain. They said it's probably due to the genes. I'm so afraid. Everything is so sudden!
I've gum pockets of deepest 6mm. The dentist suggest that I go for deep cleaning 1st. If it doesn't improve, then we proceed with gum flap surgery. I'm so terrified!! Has anyone here undergone deep cleaning? How is the process like and does it hurt really bad? It sounds really painful & I'm so afraid. I know I can't chicken out but I'm just so frightened. It's this Friday. How does it feel like? Also, how does gum flap surgery feel like? I'm so so so so so afraid. Can anyone help me please...I need support.
