FAQ: Scaling

Under what circumstances should a patient get the deep scaling procedure? Is it purely a preventative measure? Would it be good for a 27-year old showing some signs of gum disease? ...Chris in DC (answer)
Is it appropriate to recommend scaling as a preventive >measure? My new dentist says that I have incipient gum disease and should have it done, but also seems to assume that I will then have it done every year. In many years of seeing dentists regularly this has never before been suggested. ... Visitor from MD (answer)
Scaling Cleaning: I have been going to a dentist for a couple of years now and it's very painful. He does not seem to have a gentle touch with the novacine. I had braces for 5 years and have a bad regard for dentists in general. I'm looking for a painless alternative for a deep cleaning or scaling. I have bad gums but could not stand to have my gums cut surgically. I have had scaling before and had good results but did not maintain cleanings and have slid back to the receding gums state. Please let me know if there is a painless alternative. ... Visitor from IL (answer)
Sedation for Deep Cleaning - Scaling: Is there anyway to get put to sleep while getting deep cleaning done. Do you recommend it? I'm so afraid of the dentist that I get sick to my stomach. I'm 30 years old and was told by my dentist that I need deep cleaning. ... Visitor from IL (answer)
Deep Dental Cleaning: My dentist of 38 years retired and the person that bought the practice is recommending a deep gum cleaning because my gums bleed a little. The previous dentist always remarked how quick my gums grew around temparary crowns. Is this necessary as a preventative measure for a 55 year old. While I don't have any gum problems now, my mother had them at age 62. ... Visitor from NJ (answer)
