 Scale and Polish at the Dentist
Had my third scale and polish today and can say that I had a really good time!! Numbers 1 and 2 were fairly pleasant ... gentle clean, polish and floss - no problems, teeth felt good.
Today - different story (different dentist also). I'm sure a sharp pointed implement was stuck up between my teeth and gums and wiggled about - not sure if it was nerve pain I felt or just the tearing of my gum wall - then a hammer and chisel was used to prise open a gap between all my teeth. Then my tooth enamel was scraped off with a scraper - well it felt like that. It looked like a bloodbath when I rinsed.
I would consider that I have very good oral hygiene imo - is this a typical scale and polish experience?
Teeth do feel good now but don't think I'll look forward to the next one. |
