Check up and cleaning at the dentist!

Hi guys!

I thought I’d tell you about my recent experience at the dentist. I went for a check up yesterday, and it was the first one in three (!) years.

I know, I know that’s bad.

But it went fine! Everything looks good, but I was recommend to come in again for a cleaning. Not only am I hesitant because it’s expensive (95€) but I’m also a little scared because I heard so many times that it can be very uncomfortable.

What’s your experience with cleanings, especially after not having one in a while?

I dread going to the dentist. I’ve had a lot of painful dental procedures, and the cost is very high. It’s very hard to find an honest and reliable dentist where I live.

I've only really been in that scenario twice and while I don't remember either of the cleanings being particularly bad I would probably describe them as uncomfortable. That being said it's better to be mildly uncomfortable now than potentially need a deeper cleaning like scaling and root planing.

I'd go through with the cleaning even if it is a tad expensive. Better to pay a little now than a lot later.

Remember this! BE TRUE to your teeth…or…they will be FALSE to you!

A few years ago I was in the same situation. Hadn't gone to the dentist in 5+ years and when I finally did go and got my checkup they also wanted me to come back again to get a cleaning.

It was really no big deal. I mean sure cleanings can be slightly uncomfortable at times but I've always found them very tolerable.

If your dentist deems it necessary then I would do it, they are looking out for you and your health. Cleaning now prevents drilling later 😃
