I recently went to the dentist they told me the only thing that i need was a deep cleaning. They told me i had gum deases. Does that mean that im going to loose my teeth soon. im really nearvous in getting this procedure done. What shoul i expect in this kind of procedure.

Getting a deep cleaning does not mean you are going to loose your teeth, it is a step forward in maintaining healthy gums and bone to support the teeth, you should not get nervous about it and you should ask your dentist about the degree of gum disease you have, it could be minor or severe but that is something your dentist know about. What to expect is numbing of the area where the deep cleaning procedure will be done and by using ultrasonic device and scalers the dentist or the hygienist will start removing the build up and plaque around the teeth and the gums, many patients find it a pleasant procedure and very effective.
