This channel has improved my dental care. My teeth are getting cleaned a lot better which is preventing future decay.
thank you for sharing this! wishing you continued dental health!
My 4mm pockets became 3mm pockets this year, thanks in large part to this channel encouraging me to do the home care and get my butt to my local dentist and hygienist. ✌♥🦷
YESSSSSSSS I love hearing this! thank you for telling me this :) wishing you continued dental care!!!

What did you do? How did you get them to go back to 3mm?
This channel has been such a big help for me! I had my first dental appointment in 6 years today and had to have a middle cleaning. Not a pleasant experience, but so worth it to fix how my teeth look and feel. I can’t stop staring at them and how great they look now! And the tips from your channel actually helped me get a good seal of approval from my hygienist and dentist! They were shocked, for all the build I had, what great shape my teeth and gums were in. I only had one slightly deeper than normal pocket. Thank you so so much for all this great content you provide for us 💕
thank you so much for telling me this!!! wishing you continued dental health!!! truly sending all the positive vibes your way :)
I'm so jealous! I go to the dentist regularly and always need a deep cleaning by 6 months 😅😂
I had one 5mm pocket after 14yrs of neglect. It could've been worse. I'm so glad I found these videos I've been learning so much here.
Just got back from the dentist and my second cleaning and I no longer have a 5mm pocket. I had several 1s and 2s deepest one was a 4.
I think these videos helped me a lot to improve my oral hygiene. Thank you.
@@Nighthawk5015 kudos to you for jumping back in the game
@@uzo9887 thank you
@@Nighthawk5015 I got my deep clean today and go back tomorrow for the other side. I’m also getting two wisdom teeth pulled as well. Talk about neglect, I’m further back than 14 yrs. I’m lucky enough to have enough bone to still keep my teeth 🤦🏾♂️
@@uzo9887 at least you went in. Been watching videos were people lose their entire teeth cause they're so scared of going to the dentist
Just had my first deep cleaning thanks to advice from you. It wasn’t bad at all.
I recently got an SRP and I immediately noticed the difference no more bleeding even the day of when I went to brush and floss and they also used a laser on both sides of my mouth. Didn't hurt too much. Also, my breath is way fresher throughout the day! 😊
So I went to a dentist for a checkup for the first time in more than a decade and that was about 13 years ago and he just got stuck in and gave me a deep clean, I had a ton of tartar which I never even knew I had, wasnt what I would call painful or anything but he was scraping around the teeth for a good hour. Luckily he said it was not serious, but if left untreated, over time it would lead to serious gum disease, The tartar seemed to come back again at my next visit, but since then ive never had the need to have a deep clean, so i must be doing something right!
I hadn't seen a dentist in about five to six years ..( seriously , this is no fault of my own) living in the UK , finally I managed to find a dentist , had check up .. not much was explained , just the comment " you have several issues going on" made an appointment to see hygienist , but I was told in 6 months.. same time as next dentist appointment ... after watching this , I think maybe I need to see hygienist asap ...
Thank you for explaining how things work..
I had one four . I am going hard core. Flossing, brushing, mouthwash, water pik, flouride gel and special toothpaste.
great explanation. while i brush 2x/day, i am so bad at flossing and during the pandemic have not been good at keeping up with dental cleanings. hope to do a better job at this moving forward.
I feel the same about flossing my new years goal is to floss more. I wish us both luck!
skill issue :(
Every video you post has simple narrative. Thanks a lot
thank you for watching!!! and commenting kind! I try really hard to make my vids quick and to the point :) :) :)
I used to think that a deep cleaning was just a better more expensive cleaning lol
nope!!!! totally different type of cleaning :)
These dentist only takes our money & giveing us a short cut , damaging the enamel of out teeth by filing them down , so we can come back quick & in a few yrs time ends up with reffering us to get dentures as our teeth gets ugly looking like rotten teeth in our mouth
Same lol
Yes, these videos are helpful
Nope! You don’t want that cleaning if you don’t need it. 😂
I've learnt so much from you Whitney. Here in my country, deep cleaning is called Root Planning or Root Surface Debridement. Middleman cleaning is often called deep cleaning by regular dentist and subgingival scaling by my periodontist. And regular cleaning sometimes can clean into subgingival area as well. As you can imagine, it's all very confusing when you call up the dentist and the receptionist say Yes! We do deep cleaning. But their deep cleaning is just slightly below gum line. Not the deep cleaning as you mentioned here, which is called Root Planing/Root Surface Debridement. I wish everyone in every country just sticks to the same name as per described by you.
Hearing that you can be numbed for a deep clean and break it up is making me now look for a new dental practice. I was made to feel that I was a baby. It did hurt
Went through deep cleaning for my first time and they numbed me up a few times which was quite painful, I also paid more than I thought
@@LawrenceCaplan I’m happy for you and more mad for me now!
When I went to the dentist last last month, my hygienist performed a debridement, while not a full cleaning, she said she wanted to see if that would negate the need for a deep cleaning. :) You're right about the x-rays... one of my upper molars look perfect from the outside, but underneath the filling, there's a problem area, so she was surprised when I said I didn't feel any sensitivity, etc. with the tooth.
Deep clean. Just done. 2k $ later and my general health has improved. Deep clean wasn’t fun,,, yet necessary
Did your insurance cover any of that
I had a deep scale and planing done 2 months ago, after 2 years without a hygienist appointment. I was offered no numbing at all. It was all done in one session and OMG, when I got home I felt like I had been punched in the face!!! I had to take 2 ibuprofen and go to bed for a couple of hours and feel sorry for myself 😂 I also had an x-ray done 2 weeks ago which showed minimal bone loss and long healthy roots and the good news is, I went back to the hygienist today and she was really impressed by my cleaning and maintenance. She said my gums had tightened up already and the cleaning was a LOT less painful. I’m down for regular 3 monthly sessions for now to keep on top of it.
The middle cleaning is uncomfortable but not painful. Recently had it done and now I’m just spiraling mentally watching cleaning videos and realizing how hard it is to build a flossing routine and feeling intense guilt.
don't feel guilty!!! you got this 💪💪💪!
Deep cleaning isn’t painful either, it just sounds scary because of the noise, but it’s actually fine. It’s a bit uncomfortable because of the vibrations and the fear your dentist might mess up, but other than that it’s good.
deep cleaning is also expensive as hell compared to regular. motivated me to take better care of my mouth at least
1600$ I was lucky to have insurance snd I paid $650. Still its unobtainable for many.
Ugh! I’m scheduled for my deep cleaning next month! Not looking forward to it! 🤦🏾♀️🦷 Glad I had my dental cleaning today and no cavities found! Thank goodness!
I love how thoroughly you explained this for patients.
Thank you, Whitney! It now costs $150 for a regular cleaning, and it is more important to me to be able to donate money to animal rescues and spay and neuter programs. I hope I can learn to do this properly.
Are you being sarcastic?
You're sweet 😊
Whitney , thank you! From one hygienist to another!
thank you for watching!!! :)
Why have I not discovered your channel earlier! So ready to up my teeth game now.
Experienced 'Deep Cleaning' for my very first time by dental hygienist following dentists novocaine oral vaccinations, was quite painful where I felt the needle was in my gums for way too long, and then another shot following 5 - 10 min. I was also surprised by the financial cost, i was expecting somewhere just under ( $ 350 ) however no way I had to pay ( $ 575 ) cash on hand with no dental insurance, my Dentist was my Hispanic neighbors friend who pursuaded me to go through this dental practice for future gum disease prevention and prevention of tooth decay. Things felt good following Deep Cleaning appointment, to visit my Dentist once in every four months for cleaning and a checkup for ( $ 100 ) per-dental-visit, and he tells me it's a friendly favor he does to his family and relatives. Idk at this point whether I'd go through Deep Cleaning for a long time, as I believe once in five years is enough. It's not for everyone, especially for those with a tight budget towards dentistry
Could you do a video on hydrogen peroxide and it’s benefits on doing a rinse?
I’ve had Invisalign for over 14 months and recently had a cleaning about 6 weeks ago. I had a good amount of tartar buildup on my bottom front teeth, but my gums are still hurting 6 weeks later. I had the dentist take a look but I feel like they shrugged me off and said it was due to the Invisalign and i needed to brush more. I had a few cleanings before and my gums never hurt like this. Has anyone else had this issue?
Yeah, I had to get a deep cleaning. I sleep with my retainer and it caused some buildup in the back teeth
I hate the ultrasound cleaning tools, it hurts and the sounds is awful :(
I desperately need to go through with it, but it's difficult because I start hyperventilating and crying.
Very well explained thanks
A dentist I went to 10 years ago recommended that they do a deep cleaning on me. I didn't agree to that because I wasn't sure about it, and I was about to move to a different state. After the dentist suggested a deep cleaning, I've been trying to brush my teeth better. I went back to using an electric toothbrush I used before going to that dentist (because he suggested a different electric toothbrush brand and it was a nightmare. Nothing but bad dental appointments). I started using a different toothpaste and a waterpik. I have been having great dental appointments ever since. But if the dentist I go to now suggests a deep cleaning, now that I know what it entails because of your video, I won't be afraid to say yes.
I'll be having the deep cleaning and I'm nervous I had PTSD from dental trauma. I also have a heart mumur and although I'm 47 I still need to take the antibiotics before the deep cleaning and of course my anxiety meds
..I'm really nervous but also feeling very courageous. Because years ago I wanted to do be in Entertainment, film theater and I use to do commercial modeling . But years later I was in a horrific car accident and lost my my front tooth I was 25 years old ..then I went to the dentists that a year later was sured for nsl practice ..in other words I wasn't the only patient that he injured both physically and mentally ..and every since then I became afraid ..no . Terrified of the dentist even getting X-rays would trigger me and cause me to cry . Luckily for me I have a dentist now where the whole office down to the janitor lol is sOOO kind and patient with me. They totally understand. And they are all watching my bravery progress 😊 I believe I'm in good hands .but alot of times people don't understand the story behind why someone lets their dental hygiene go . Before the trauma I would often get compliments on my smile , now I barely smile and have learned to even talk where my missing tooth doesn't show .
But I trust that soon I'll be able to smile big again ..in fact I love smiling , laughing ..sometimes I feel guilty for being so afraid . I'm pretty courageous in all other areas of my life .but again , you just never know what a person has gone through. I can do social media very well because I can hide my smile or the condition of my teeth better . But in person there will be no meet and greets lol 😂 not till I get back my smile . It really has affected my self esteem although I'm attracted. Id much rather be healthy annnd attractive.
Thank you. This was explained clearly.
thank you for watching!
Just found out I have 4mm and 5mm so I’m scheduled for a deep cleaning. They’re giving me a shot before hand. I’m nervous but watching this to prep, I really like my new dentist office. Edit: SRP is the name of the cleaning I’m getting.
Thanks for this video! Off topic: Can you make a hair care routine video? Share any tips or tricks? Your hair is so thick and beautiful!! ❤
that is SO NICE of you thank you!!!!!!! will definitely consider making a video about that! thank you!
My gums haven't been bleeding in the longest time in about years . I've been keeping up with my daily routines such as brushing and flossings every day . Although I've not been to an exam or teeth cleanings in at least six months due to insurance problems hope it's not too bad ..
I would look into nearby dental hygiene schools! They offer free or reduced cleanings!
@@nessyfay insurance problem fixed. I’ve been to dentist and hygienist Monday. Yay they’ve given me a thumbs up. Even some of the gums firmed up and went from over 5mm to less than 4mm.
This helped. Tyvm. ❤
I am just falling in love with this Doctor! I hope I could find her clinic. ( I have excessive saliva production when I sleep at nights since 2013, I am 32 years old and I have to keep waking up every night every hour or half an hour to go to washroom and spit or keep a bin next to me 😭) now after 12 years I can see triangles in my front upper and lower teeth’s and I don’t know what to do. I live in London please can someone tell me where is this Doctor’s clinic? Thanks
Thank you very much indeed for your advice and videos my hygienist said that my dental status is now excellent(used yo be below average) 👏 THANK YOU
YAY! this makes me so happy! keep up the great work!
Hi Whitney, thanks for this video. My question is that I have very swollen gums behind my upper front teeth where I also have my bonded retainer. Should I get a deep cleaning or get the retainer removed? What will best help to remove the inflammation?
Thank you for this video!
I have few gums in 4mm pocket size range but healthy bones and dentist recommended to do medium cleaning (scale, gingival inflam- full mth)
Below two items were also recommended not sure what is that and if I should get that ?
1) Adjunc pre-dish test detect mic
2) Topical App FI Varnish Adult
I went to the dentist for a regural clean and they told me i have gum disease because my gums bleed alot, they didnt measure anything or get an xray, they told me i needed a clean under the gums done in 2 sessions with local anesthesia but they didnt mention anything about bone loss... Are they trying to just take my money or do i actually need it?
They tried to charge me 700$ for a deep cleaning i was like what the hell is this lmaoo my dentist was on drugs i told them them thats way to expensive how do you have normal clients no wonder why people dont come to the dentist
I had my teeth cleaned by a dental hygienist professional seven months ago. My teeth still hurt. Thanks professional dental hygienist person. I am being sarcastic. A month ago someone in her office called me to come back for another torture session, excuse me, dental cleaning. I said, "No. My teeth still hurt from the last time". The caller did not seem shocked or surprised or apologetic.
And this why im scared to get one!! Uggh i have a loose tooth to 😢

how do i know I'm getting the second kind of cleaning? My dentist likes to schedule deep cleanings once a year (in addition to my 6 month regular cleanings) but they've never told me i've had bone loss or any of the symptoms necessary for a deep clean
Hello. There are black stains on the top and sides of my teeth from smoking and balck tea. Does the regular cleaning include cleaning these off, or just removing tartar and plaque? Thx
Had a normal cleaning done and every pocket was between 1mm-3mm, did develop few black triangles but I assume that can happen during gingivitis and can be fixed with bioclear when the gums are healthy? dentist said I only need 6 month check ups but glad I caught it early (would have gone a lot sooner if not for my financial situation)
My dentist listed perio scaling on my receipt, but I wasn't numbed and it felt like just a normal cleaning. What does this mean?
What is a hygienist’s favorite game?
Tooth or dare. 😂
I’ll see myself out. ✌🏼
😂😅
😂!
I’m rolling , I’ll see myself out, tho 😂
🤣🤣🤣
🤣
would using a waterpik reduce pockets ?
Our boss doesn’t like the term “deep cleaning”. Would love to use your videos for teaching. Ever think if calling it Perio Therapy instead?
yes! I utilize the terms "scaling and root planing" and "perio therapy" when I'm at work, however online according to google, most patients are searching for "deep cleaning" when they are looking for information so I've been utilizing that terminology for my videos to be more easily searchable. however... it's such a balance finding that sweet spot between both terms! definitely working on finding a way :) thank you for watching!
The worst pain ever having a deep clean 😢I can’t have this done without anaesthetic
Katy Mack I can only have a deep clean with an anesthia
Hi, do they still do what is considered a regular cleaning during a deep cleaning? Or do I need to schedule a regular cleaning for polishing the teeth etc? This is what my plan says: LR/UR periodontal scaling and root planing phase I, LL/UL periodontal scaling and root planing phase II. Thank you in advance.
Hi Whitney.
My dentist refused to clean some yellowish material (probably tartar) that was sitting on top of the very last molar tooth. He said cleaning that would result in sesitivity issues.
My question is, should I see another dentist to get it cleaned? Or can it be removed by homecare itself?
Tartar cant be removed at home. If your current dental provider refuses to do it you can always ask another dentist (with the original dentist's concerns mentioned) for a second opinion. If this dentist is willing to do it and you have no issues with switching dentists then you do that. No use in staying with a dentist that does not listen to the patient's wishes.
thank you for information. local deep cleaning make sense
I take excellent care of my teeth and a new dentist ripped me off saying i needed a deep root scaling . For some reason i needed up at another dentist and told them that i was doing deep root scaling , the dentist laughed and said , you dint need anything done ! They are ripping you off 😡 $780 bc they knew my insurance was paying
Did it cost you more out of pocket?
Each practice is different like how some dentists think some cavities are small or some think they are bigger, it’s up to their interpretation of your mouth not that they ripped you off more that that’s what they were trained in their dental school training. Some states teach different guidelines and not every hygienist you go to in your state graduated in your state. So different guidelines. Or newer and improved guide lines for newer graduates where more veteran hygienists are not updated to new information, could be either or.
Hi, I am scared of dentist spitbowl, where every patient spit saliva and blood, doesnt it spread diseases. how it is cleaned between patients?
Hi! For the offices that use spit bowls, they are disinfected between patients! Hope this helps!
Love your videos ! Cheers from UK !
thank you so much!!!! cheers :) :) :)
I have a lot of bone loss caused from wearing orthodontics as a kid. Mainly on the bottom front teeth. But they said my roots are good. I have gum receding or higher pocket all around. Also they said caused by orthodontics. They haven’t recommended deep cleaning but just the regular 6 month cleaning. Is there anything else I can do? I do brush and floss regularly.
You are able to receive more frequent appointments to prevent build up in the pocket. Some patients request every 4 months (3x/yr) or every 3 months (4x/yr)- you may need to pay out of pocket for additional cleanings, but definitely worthy.
Recommend - Electric toothbrush (Oral B or Sonicare)- gently rotating the bristles towards your gum line while brushing- when brushing near the gum line, your grip and pressure of your grasp on the toothbrush should be very light, flossing daily using the “c-shape” or “hugging” each tooth gently, Waterpik’s irrigate the gums with pressurized water, and using a good oral rinse. With the recession, recommend getting fluoride treatment every time you go to the dentist in order to protect the exposed root surfaces and the enamel of the crown.
Calculus will harbor quicker in more porous areas, such as exposed root surfaces.
A dentist once scraped below the enamel layer to the cementum with his probe and announced that the sound was loads of plaque and I needed a deep cleaning urgently. No wonder dentists have a reputation as scoundrels.
Growing up, I had nobody but my single mother whom couldn’t afford dental insurance.. I haven’t been to a dentist in over 7 years, until 2 weeks ago… I’m scheduled for a deep cleaning next week, so I was wondering… There’s two gaps I want fixed on my top row, and some crooked teeth on my bottom row… I have no idea which route to go to take care of that, considering my gums aren’t the healthiest. Any advice?
Your smile is amazing 😍
Hiii !!! You are just amazing and adorable 😍!! I am in love with your videos! I need a video for swollen gums! Actually am facing this since 2 years ... After a slight touch my gums start bleeding! I need a solution for thiss!❤
Try baking soda in water gargle or salt water.
Your videos are helpful 👍
You have 346K subs! That's amazing! All for teeth!
so so so happy so many people care about their dental health!!!
@@TeethTalk Is this a computer, or is teeth girl up way way WAY TO LATE!
I have to undertake this in the end of the month. Is it painfull or is it just cleaning with the expanded cleaning method?
Thanks for the extended sales pitch, but where's the closeup video of what you supposedly do?
This is always so interesting......
Great job !
Just had a clean with dental hygienist and he forced a natural plus whitening my dad said just do it
My 2 front teeth are shaped like veneers rounded I feel like he shortened them and I’m pissedddd!!!!!!
Take before and she photos always
He even left marks in my teeth I didn’t have before.
I’m so mad I feel like he rounded off my 2 front teeth look fake now
My 2 front teeth do look shorter and I wish I took photos from before I’m so fucking mad! My best advice to others is always take before and after photos I’m self conscious now I literally think he shortened my 2 front teeth I’m so fucking mad!
I have a photo of before they were longer
Are my teeth still supposed to look dirty after the deep clean? I’m confused why they didn’t clean everything at my first appointment.
Did they prescribe a mouth rinse to use after?
What sucks is most insurances don’t cover the middle cleaning :(
Middle cleaning???
@@Ohkeh640 it’s a cleaning for gingivitis when insurance won’t consider a patient needing a deep cleaning due to no attachment loss but even then they won’t pay so patient has to pay out of pocket.
Where I'm can buy this machine for a regular cleaning?
Got one scheduled this Tuesday regular cleaning hope it aint longer than an hr n change
I caution anyone that your Dental coverage may not cover 100% deep cleaning and this may cause the facility to have you sign a promise to pay including a 3rd party credit form where you will incur a hard inquiry on your credit report. You may have easily covered such costs with your credit card. The facility may obscure this fact. Be diligent. Present your credit card for additional costs. You probably don't need the credit application for service in a normal cleaning scenario.
I think i might need a deep cleaning and im sooo nervous about it!!
Had mine yesterday if anything it’s taught me to brush my teeth and look after them I don’t ever want to experience what I experienced ever again
Just had mine done too. I kept telling my self “you are brave” “you are courageous” “ you can do it” “you are a warrior!” Then I used my phone and Air buds to listen to music while they were working on me. The music helped a lot.
What is better stannous fluoride orr sodium fluoride.whst is the polish used in dental office and fluride treatment use by dentadt
here's my videos that will help explain:

I had all regular cleaning done that my insurance covers but I had only one deep cleaning that I had to pay $100 out of pocket
IS THIS NORMAL? I just got a regular cleaning today, but I felt like the service was so lacking, it was less than10 min and ALL she did was using the tooth scrapper (not vibrating just regular ones we have at home) and furiously scrapped the hell out of all my gums lines....then she quickly buffed around my teeth and sent me home. WTF
After my regular cleaning, my dentist suggested a deep cleaning. Wouldnt deep cleaning be sufficient? Why did I go thru regular cleaning at all? 😂
(His suggestion was based on my xways took way beforehand)
so he could charge for both.. obvs.
So that the deep cleaning is easier when you come in. It’s kinda like tidying up real quick before you do a deep clean.

I go to a peridonist office the hygienist does a regular cleaning after a initisl deep cleaning a year ago after ovid. The regular ones are every 3 mo. And i still ended up with a cavity on my lower incisor 3 probe depth. My question is a cavity i read takes 6 mo to 5 yrs to develop. How did she not see it on prior cleanings? Note ive not had an xray in over a year. And i have deep pockets i was told due to meds i take it causes my gums to swell and increased tarter and I a bit of boneloss ????😮😮
Could be weakened enamel depends where the filling was recommended, might be due to attrition, and or abfraction (clinching and grinding)
@@budakai7996 I have it fixed apparently I had a root canal on my lower incisor I have no memory of nor does my dental office have a record. There was no crown a cavity formed atop it. The dentist filled it before realizing it was a root canal beneath. How weird I totally Remember my other two root canals. Makes me wonder even it was done snd where my brain was lol.
@@shimmer8289 they didn’t show you an x ray showing the root canal on the tooth?
@@budakai7996 yes he did he xrsyed it after filling coz it looked *off* was surprised when he said it was a root canal. It seems that it would be a memorable event. But wat do I know.
Nice info! Ty
Thanks for the information and really like your beautiful long hair!
GREAT VIDEO THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟 DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜
Man.. I’m not gonna lie I have never been good at taking care of my teeth. Gingivitis at 14, again at 17 I think, periodontal disease after and since the first cleaning at 14 I thought I was doing good! I just hated flossing (I have very tight crowding so even healthy gum flossing can be painful if I’m not careful)
It’s just so confusing. Can’t see in my mouth so idk. I’m also confused why I never have cavities… atleast I’m trying to do better every time they say I’m not doing a good job lol
Hello! Have you tried various floss brands? Try waxy one if you haven't. I have tight spacing too, and I use Glide cos that's the only brand that manages to slip through lol 😂
I suppose your eating habit doesn't include sugar and residue that much? Nice to know you don't have cavity issue! It's a problem if not treated early. 😅
We had to move because we are a military family and I missed my last cleaning and now have to wait til November....I love getting my teeth cleaned and I am worried it about my gums
Generally its best not to miss a cleaning, but you can always take extra care of your oral hygiene at home, like floss regularly, brush after each meal or at least a mouth rinse, eat healthier foods and just show up for your next appointment, now if you are in rehabilitation for gingivitis or periodontal disease then try to show up always.
Thank you

@@TeethTalk Thank you 😊
I brush my teeth hard when i was younger so i have a receding gums this type of cleaning is what i need, but my question what type of a dentist perform this?
Any general dentist performs this type of cleaning. Unless your pockets are really deep, then they might recommend you see a gum specialist known as a periodontist.
Does scaling with the presence of gingival inflammation involve the patient having to come back for a separate appt?
sometimes yes for a followup 4-6wks later! every office might have slightly different protocols, however. hope this helps!
@@TeethTalk I mean for a separate appt if the person comes as a new patient and ends up being diagnosed with it.
@@musicgirl999 yes- usually the time is set for your first appt to do all assessments including a comprehensive examination which is a detailed exam.
Establishing patients takes quite a bit of time and there may not be enough time for the hygienist for the schedule patient to complete the gingival inflammation cleaning.
Typically a new patient appt includes full medical history and accuracy, blood pressure, oral cancer screening, periodontal charting, dental charting (any restorations or missing teeth present- which takes quite a bit of time, alone) full series X-rays (which can be 18-19 pictures- with time to process the X-rays if they are phosphor plates), reviewing these X-rays in great depth takes some time, intraoral pictures may be taken for establishing the beginning of your time at an office for documentation, sometimes a diagnodent is use to detect early cavities, then speaking with the dental team about the best treatment options for your case. The dentist (-mind you, while the hygienist is working, the dentist is more than likely in the middle of other procedures in another operatory, like doing fillings or crowns) then reviews every piece of documentation collected by the hygienist and checks every tooth individually. With all of the assessments that may be completed- the schedule may not be allotted for a gingival inflammation cleaning. Gingival inflammation cleaning =more bleeding which means more rinsing and suctioning. detecting buildup which is covered by the inflammed gums takes more precision than a typical cleaning as the buildup is scattered and not just in one spot on the tooth.
Yes, prophylaxis cleanings are precise, but by this point, patients are established and the hygienist is able to complete the cleaning in the allotted time.
Once the treatment is planned for a gingival inflammation cleaning- the front desk has to get confirmation with the insurance and evidence for why this treatment was decided, that it is okay to proceed as this is a different cost and this should be reviewed prior to proceeding so the patient is aware of the APPROXIMATE out of pocket cost.
Many times hygienists are given only 60-80 mins for a new patient.
And when splitting up all the procedures, this would leave MAYBE AT MOST - 20 mins to complete a cleaning after assessments.
I hope this helps.
Hi Whitney 😍👸 your videos are always cool and beautiful 😍❤️💕
thank you so much for watching!
I went for a deep cleaning and after the second half of my mouth was done I been for the last 3 months with dry mouth and cannot taste food, I ask the Dr what's going on and they keep saying they never came across anything like this, do you have an idea on why I cannot taste flavors after the procedure? (is not covid, please), and also why I have dry mouth after?. Thank you for your answer!!!.
Nerve damage?
Did they prescribe a mouth rinse after cleaning?
@@budakai7996 Yes, finally after 8 months I just have my taste back like before.
@@artisticagi No idea, they blamed covid19.
Very interesting👍
Seems to me that most dentists these days don't want to do just a "regular" cleaning. They want you to go with a deep cleaning for about $1k. American Greed!
You are getting ripped off if they’re charging you $1k
Get dental insurance, also shop around. Deep cleanings have different factors that affect cost no matter where you go
Peace love teeth. Thank you ❤
PLT BRYAN!
Does anyone know what this lady means by pockets, is it how far in you can take your floss to the middle of the tooth?
there's a natural space between your gums and your tooth (called the sulcus) and it should be between 1-3mm. if it's higher than 4mm, then it's oftentimes called a pocket. floss properly cleans the sulcus but it can't properly reach down into pockets. here's a video of mine that explains more -- hope this helps: ruclips.net/video/25XbZz83ytE/видео.html
5:11 WHAT THE HELL?! I've never heard of being "numb" for a "cleaning, deep cleaning, scaling, etc"... IS THIS A FAIRLY NEW PRACTICE??
