    Hi has anyone heard of deep cleaning ? I'm just wondering if the purpose is for hygiene. I get my teeth cleaned every 3 months I floss every day brush after each meal & use a good mouthwash yet I'm at my wits end as to how I can solve this problem. Any one any suggestions?

    I kno my dentist uses this term for the longer visit with the hygienist. I find when I've any gum issues the deep cleaning sorts things better than the quick scale and polish. The hygienist uses hand instruments after the scaling and just generally spends longer around each tooth.

    what is your problem though? is it that your teeth are stained/dark or that there's dirt/plaque building up?
    given the way you say you're cleaning, i'm thinking it's the colour that you're worried about?

    No colour perfect they look grand it's just bad breath. Its very embarassing to say the least.

    Deep cleaning usually refers to a cleaning under the gum. Local anaesthetic is needed for comfort and it takes a lot longer than a regular cleaning. Pretty standard stuff and you teeth will feel brilliant afterwards, kills all those under the gum smelly bugs.

    I'm piggy backing on here rather than create a new thread :)

    It's been suggested to me as well that I get this done, no real issues, I have receding gums but it's been confirmed it's not gum disease and no bone loss. Perio recommended this and wanted to book me in asap @ €350 a pop with 2 sessions needed :eek:

    My question I suppose really is, is this specialist work or can a hygienist do it - if so looking for a good hygienist in Galway.

    f it is specialised is the cost I was quoted pretty standard?
