Dental Opinions on Dental Cleanings

Posted on Aug. 26th 2023 by Dental Plan Reviews in cleaning, Dental Help Comments Off on Dental Opinions on Dental Cleanings

Routine Cleanings Vs. Deep Cleanings. 

What is the difference between routine Cleaning (Prophylaxis) and Deep Cleaning?

Routine/Prophylaxis Cleaning: Focuses on preventive dental care and maintaining healthy teeth and gums by removing calculus, plaque, and common stains. Normally performed twice a year by a dental hygienist or dentist along with your dental check-up. 

Deep Cleaning: is a procedure designed to help avoid periodontal disease (gum disease). A buildup of calculus and plaque on the crowns and root surfaces of teeth causes periodontal disease. It can begin as localized gingival inflammation and progress to severe disease that significantly damages the soft tissue and the bone that supports the teeth. If left untreated, this disease progresses to the ultimate loss of teeth.

Dental Opinions – Teeth Cleanings

Posted on Aug. 11th 2023 by Dental Plan Reviews in cleaning, Dental Help Comments Off on Dental Opinions – Teeth Cleanings

Why have Dental Teeth Cleanings?

Cleaning teeth usually is part of most people’s oral hygiene habits, which involves the removal of dental plaque. Generally, people routinely clean their teeth by brushing at least twice a day and flossing daily. However, only a dentist or dental hygienist can remove hardened deposits not removed by routine cleaning. A dentist does more than just basic cleaning. They also check for signs of tooth decay and gum disease, which is included in their routine check-up.

New Jersey dental care, Cleaning your own teeth.

Posted on Mar. 19th 2011 by Dental Plan Reviews in cleaning Comments Off on New Jersey dental care, Cleaning your own teeth.

Hello for the past three years I stop going to see any dentist.  I do not like them and feel that they are always just out to make their next car payment with your pay check.  That said I started cleaning my own teeth.

I been scraping the tartar/plaque off my own teeth with a small screwdriver.  I think my teeth look really good and I have no dental issues.  However, people that have seem me do this tell me that I am messing up my teeth.  I do not believe this but I would like to hear a third opinion.  Is it possible that I am doing damage to my teeth?

Dental Opinions Blog, What type of dental insurance as a low monthly cost

Posted on Jun. 23rd 2010 by Dental Plan Reviews in cleaning, Dental Insurance Comments Off on Dental Opinions Blog, What type of dental insurance as a low monthly cost

I want to buy a cheap dental insurance plan.  I just need something for my two cleaning a year and X-rays really.  I never had any cavities or other issues with my teeth but I want to keep it that way.  I do not want to have to pay 30 -40 a month for dental insurance.   That does not make sense to me.   Looking for a cheaper plan they will give me two free cleaning and X-rays.

Second dental opinions, How do you know what dentist to trust

Posted on Jun. 21st 2010 by Dental Plan Reviews in Cavities, cleaning, Dentists Comments Off on Second dental opinions, How do you know what dentist to trust

When getting a second dental opinion how do you know which dentist is correct?

So here is the story.  Last year I was told by the dentist at the time that I needed to have a filling done on one tooth and to have a deep cleaning.  So wanting to make sure I got a second dental opinion from a different dentist. That dentist said that I do not need a filling or a deep cleaning.   Okay so I when to him for just the regular cleaning he said I needed.

Six mouths later he says now I do need to have a filling and a deep cleaning.  He gave me a cost that was much higher then the dentist that I when to before him.  This bother me so I when to another dentist for a second opinion.  That dentist told me that I do not need a deep cleaning and that I do have a very small cavity on my tooth but it was too small to worry about doing a filling on yet.  When different dentist tell you different things how do you know which one is telling  you the truth.  I do not want to feel like I got bate and switched.  Which is how I am feeling.  They tell me what I want to hear the first time then try to get me to do all this expensive dental work the second time I go.   What is up with that?
