A couple of weeks ago, I went to the dentist for the first time since I left the Navy. The doctor said that my teeth were in ok shape. 2 weeks later I got a root canal :(..... Today I got what they call a deep cleaning. I call it a recipe for pain.
The dentist cleaned under my gums. I spent about 2 hours in the dentist chair enduring a lot of pain. They gave me some local numbing, but it was not near enough. I was reading about the procedure, and not many people get all their teeth done in one sitting. I got mine, and right now I wish I didn't.
My gums are still bleeding and it is hard to eat. I guess once you get one of these deep cleanings, you have to keep getting them. I don't like that idea. I probably should not wait another 5 years to get my teeth cleaned again :).
