Hi all.
I was recently told that I need a deep dental cleaning. I think it's also known as root planing and scaling.
My dentist told me that I have gingivitis and I need the deep cleaning within a month, but preferably as soon as possible. This way we can keep it from becoming periodontal disease.
I can't have the deep cleaning done yet, as I have adult braces on. Should be getting them off in 3-4 weeks.
I just wondering if anyone knows, will it hurt me to wait until the braces come off? I really don't want my teeth to get worse because I waited too long.
Also, if anyone's had the deep cleaning done before, would you mind sharing your experiences?
Thanks.
JJ
