Periodontal disease and treatment
The dentist said I had Periodontal disease
The dentist said that I need a periodontal cleaning for four quads. Does having a periodontal cleaning hurt? Or is it the same as a general cleaning? I am worried because he said it would take two appointments to do all four quads. Why would it take two appointments and not one? Any one know?

Well normally a dentist will numb your gums in order to avoid hurting you. However yes a periodontal cleaning or deap cleaning can sometimes hurt. Not some much you need to upset yourself over it.
The reason why dentist will brake down the deep cleaning into two visits or more is because it is a much more detailed cleaning and it takes more time to do the whole mouth. By doing it in two visit makes it easier on you.
