Root planing/scaling is a super deep cleaning procedure. It's usually done when the patient has gums that are beginning to recede quite a bit. It cleans bacteria, plaque and calculus that has collected in the pockets deeper than a regular cleaning can get. It's not as bad as it sounds. Some people just have extra deep gingival pockets (the gum area around your tooth) and tartar can get pretty deep. You'll probably have a local anesthetic. It really depends on what type of instruments he is using to do the procedure. Ultrasonic tools may not require any anesthetic at all. Don't be afraid to ask for one if you find it uncomfortable though. If you stay on top of your oral hygeine routine you shouldn't have further problems. If your gingival pockets are extra deep you might require cleanings every 3 months rather than every 6. For most people, it's a one time procedure though. Don't let the name scare you. It's not what it sounds like. It won't be any worse than having a cavity filled. If it's available, ask for nitrous oxide. It can be a long procedure and the nitrous will help you relax.

You rock lady!

I asked for nitrous and the lady told me they don't have that at their office. But she did tell me that the Dr. will take care of me and give me a local if needed.

Goodnight Ash!

Guess I'll just post Shug under the table and then I'll go watch Highlander.

What kind of dentist doesn't have nitrous available???? Some don't use it but that's very few. It will probably take 2 to 4 visits to get the whole thing done. If you are a nervous patient you might want to seek a 2nd opinion with a dentist who does offer it. I'm a huge fan of nitrous.

ETA that's not to say he's a bad dentist. Just that most do offer it. If you've done ok up till now you will be fine without it. It's not an anesthetic or narcotic, it's a relaxer.
