I've had my fair share of dental cleanings, but the dentist this time suggested a deep tooth cleaning. It's odd that she indicated my teeth were healthy, with no cavities or other problems. It wasn't until the girl scheduling the appointment that I realized it wasn't a typical cleaning. I started looking into it, and because of the adverse effects, I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on whether we should avoid getting it done. I saw an article concerning deep cleaning and concerns with autoimmune disorders.Thank You!
Will it wash out the calcium from the teeth
If your teeth are healthy with no cavities, it’s worth asking why they’re recommending a deep cleaning. Dentists usually suggest it when there’s some gum issue—like pockets forming between the teeth and gums—or signs of early gum disease, even if your teeth look fine on the surface. For more on preventive care and how dentists assess gum health, you can check out this page from NZED.
Deep cleanings are usually suggested if there’s gum inflammation or buildup below the gum line, even if your teeth look healthy. If you have concerns about autoimmune issues or side effects, it’s best to talk them over with your dentist to see if it’s necessary for you.
