Hi everyone! I am a 28 year old guy who has serious dental anxiety that kept me from the dentist for atleast the last 10 years. Needless to say, I had some SERIOUS plaque build up. Well today I had a deep cleaning just like this! My bottom front teeth were in a very bad shape I could basically not see them. And i’m alive!!! I feel better about my teeth than I ever have. There was almost no pain in most places while doing the procedure, any of the pain came from the scraping but that was just more uncomfortable than anything. If you’re having any second thoughts, please trust me on this. I am someone who suffers from anxiety and panic attacks very easily and it REALLY isn’t that bad. Like seriously, it was not at all what I thought it would be. You can do Don’t talk yourself out of it, you have an opportunity to be brave!

I'm 48. Literally just had this procedure complete a couple hours ago. Totally worth it! The only discomfort was the needle to numb me. If the dentist says you need this type of cleaning, DO IT!

This saved my life. Like literally. Had a 7mm pocket that was full of ooze. Had it dug out today. I got my life back. I was in total misery for three days. I was mentally prepared for an extraction or root canal but am happy to report that all I needed was a deep cleaning.

[mickwilson]

That was neat, and accurate. 65 yrs old and had my first deep clean today. A piece of cake! I love modern dentistry.

In the parking lot watching this before I head in for my deep cleaning. Thank you.

Had all four quadrants done yesterday and today. Had bad anxiety over this, but my hygenist was amazing and gave me great after care and future care advice. This type of procedure is very simple and fast with the technological advancements in place.

Remember; your hygenist is the first line of defense to avoid financially heart-stopping dental work!

I should have watched your video before the procedure . I cried ! The sounds, the injections hurt my feelings . The dental doctor and assistant were so patient and gentle . I thank them And I am glad I did it .

I just got this done over the last two days. The doctor didn’t recommend numbing my whole mouth at one time. $600 procedure. I had this done when I was 36 and now again at 44. Kids, teenagers and young adults. Please take care of your dental hygiene at home. Dental work is not cheap. If you don’t have dental insurance, still go to the dentist and a regular cleaning is only $150.

I just had my first deep cleaning this week, they cleaned my whole mouth in 2 visits. I went in with no idea what to expect, definitely didn’t expect them to give me shots in my mouth! But it wasn’t that bad at all. A bit uncomfortable, and my gums are still a bit tender, but I am SO glad I got it done. I haven’t been consistent about my dental visits and I’m definitely going to get serious about my oral care and checkups from now on. I wanted to see exactly what they did, which is why I’m here. If you need this treatment, GET IT. You won’t regret it, and your teeth and gums will really appreciate a fresh clean slate.

I went over 25 years without a visit. Finally bit the bullet and had severe periodontal disease but zero cavities. 3 and a half hours of scaling over 2 days and it was done. I considered the fact I didn't need any additional work a gift and have taken great care ever since. First 3 month follow up is in about 2 weeks and I'm looking forward to it. You videos have helped me through to continue good practices.

Just had a deep cleaning I was terrified!
They numbed me up I was extremely nervous the hygienist was super patient and kind and I didn’t feel any pain at all and I was mortified to see how much hard tartar was under the gum.
I’m out and I’m alive and happy 🥹

Today I had my first deep cleaning appointment, I was very scared and worried because I watched a lot of videos and this is the first time in my life that I do a deep cleaning, because I had a bad experience with the dentist before. The cleaning was done without anesthesia, and there was no pain, and I did not feel anything, thank God. Please do not be afraid and tell your doctor before starting treatment about your fears

[MC-yxoe]

I have to go in for this tomorrow and was very scared. This video and the comments have helped to reassure me a bit

[reaper-sztm]

Just had my first cleaning in 8 years, ended up being a deep cleaning. Had a lot of pockets in the 4-6 range and it was pain free, honestly only took about 30-45 minutes. It’s been 4 hours since I left and my mouth is still numb, that’s the most annoying part. It’s not a bad procedure, trying to get it done and get back into the habit of going to the dentist every 6 months instead of once every several years. Take care of your oral hygiene!

[courtneyschuler]

They told me I need this and it scares me. This video made me feel much better about the idea of having this done. Thank you.

[jonfranklin]

I had this done in one session, well worth it! Mouth health is so important! I follow up with water flosser a few time a week. Reg flossing too.

[QuitCut]

Had this done twice, and learned my lesson. I floss like crazy, use a waterpik, and perio trays. Sick of spending money on my teeth, I have 7 crowns and 2 implants.

[scotttaylor]

Just had my 2nd half of my mouth cleaned and I'm shocked at how much better in improved my mouth. If you need this please do it. You won't feel anything while you are numb. I used earbuds to tune out the sounds

[pamelicious]

Hello Whitney, when I had my routine cleaning on Tuesday the dental hygienist said my teeth were boring to clean because she did not have much to do. She said my teeth were so clean that it did not take long to work on them. I am doing a much better job with my oral care routine from watching your videos. I am doing better from incorporating what I learn from your informative videos into my daily routine.

I hyped myself up for weeks before my deep clean appointment. I was nervous about the pain and the lidocaine shot and it drove me crazy! Granted me teeth weren't all too bad with some very beginning stages of recession, this procedure does not hurt! It's just uncomfortable at certain points from the scraping sounds and some gum sensitivity from the cleaning but nothing unbearable and im a baby when it comes to pain. The lady gave me a topical type of numbing which looks like a tiny needle probe that she sticks down between each tooth's gemlike and squirts it in but it is completely bearable! No numbing shot was needed. If you need this done, do it and don't hesitate. This experience has made me confident and comfortable with dental work all over again. Just had this done yesterday and they had an opening for later this afternoon to do the other side of my mouth and I took it!
