I not clear on whats the difference between the two cleaning. I only know that one is much more expensive. Which a course is the one that the dentist seems to always want to do. Okay so I only go to the dentist once a year for a cleaning unlike the suggest two times. I feel I take really good care of my teeth and do not want to spend the money for going twice when it can be used on paying my bills.

A person can have a deep cleaning at any age. You will normally need to get a deep cleaning whenever you have too much tartar attached to your teeth under the gum line. Age is not a factor for that. To help avoid having to have a deep cleaning brush and floss your teeth at least two times a day.

Normally a dentist does a deep cleaning because you have periodontal disease or otherwise know as gingivitis. You can have bone loss when you have untreated gingivitis. So really the difference in the opinions where not that you do have some degree of periodontal disease/gingivitis but about weather you need fillings or root canal. I think getting the other opinion is a good idea. I do not think anyone is trying to scary you into having work done. Remember that dentist are going to advise what they feel you need. Possible that in your case they each feel that they can correct a problem differently.
