Continued from above;
I was told ten years ago that I might soon need scaling (deep cleaning), or else I might get gum disease. But I went for maintenance cleaning 3 to 4 times per year and never developed gum disease. So they stopped warning me about gum disease and changed the story to bone loss. But I believe if I was steadily loosing bone over several years, my teeth would be rotting out by now. But they are not. I have healthy gums and haven't had any cavities for decades.
They claim to see some pockets around the gums but it's never where I can see them. How is it possible to have pockets for several years with healthy gums and no tooth decay?
I've had friends tell me that since people don't get as many cavities as in years past, "deep cleaning" is the new money maker for dentists. Suddenly, everyone needs deep cleaning!
