Teeth scaling after healing deep pockets ?

i need to get my done too. what have you done to help them

Your toothbrush and floss can only reach about 3mm under your gums. Your hygienist can scale deeper than that with some anesthesia and special scalers. Also, you can not remove tarter with a toothbrush/floss. If you have 4-6mm pockets it is very unlikely you can reverse them without some help from the pros!

After the initial deep cleaning she will prob recommend you come in every 3-4 months for maintainance appts until your pockets stay at a healthy 3mm level for a period of time and your homecare is as it should be.

fyi - I'm a dental hygienist.

Take the advice of your hygienist. If you don't you could end up with periodontal disease which is when you lose bone and could end up losing your teeth, It isn't reversible at this stage and you will find yourself having to spend forever looking after your teeth to keep your gums in a healthy state and keep your teeth. I have periodontal disease. I had a fear of dentists and never understood how serious perio disease was and is. Look after your teeth and ask lots of questions. I am an expert now, I wish I had been 10 years ago! Get your teeth scaled properly - my best advice.
