Yikes--not again!!

I forgot about MY dentist appoinment for THIS morning -I guess the shock of Ds's dentist costs made me forget that I have a full-mouth debidement this morning.Its a DEEP under the gum cleaning cuz I have early warnings of gingivitis,,so I gotta nip it in the bud.I am concerned tho,my sister says now that these cleanings are linked to infections around the heart-apparently the plaque breaks free and forms bacterial infections that can be fatal!!two of her friends had this done--and they both had problems from it.i am going to call nd see if it is the same procedure and if so do they recommend antibiotics for protective reasons??The cost w/ my insurance and co-pay is $65.00 so i dont know if it is just a GOOD cleaning--or a root-type scaling..Ill TTYL>>>>>>

Good to hear it wasn't too bad Mel. I ahve a cleaning coming up soon. Twice a year for us. Never any fun but necessary. I've spent my fair share of time in that dang dentist chair so intend to keep my teeth in good health! Have a good day!
