[|Human|] hi im very worried as i went to the dentist today for the 1st time in 16 years as i developed a bad case of dentist phobia when i had to have 5 teeth removed to have braces when i was younger, and its was incredably painful and i never got over it.I was told today my teeth are in perfect condition but i have gum desease which has resulted in bone loss and my gums have reduced if that makes sense she also said im at risk of losing my teeth, ive been refered to the hospital to have a "deep clean" my question is what exactly is a deep clean? will this involve injections? will it even help?
[|AI|]  Hello! Thank you for posting here. Deep cleaning is necessary in cases where oral hygiene is poor and need a cleaning slightly below the gums. This treatment will require local anesthesia. You can ask your dentist to do it qua Chat Doctor. Like, one side at a time to make you comfortable. There is nothing to panic as you will not feel any pain after the anesthesia. Even after the anesthesia wears off, you will have discomfort, but it will be alright if you follow your dentist suggestions. This gum recession if continues without treatment can lead to tooth loss as she said and I agree with her completely. Regards.
