I always shower before I go to my esthetician. I also always shower before I have my yearly well woman exam. I work in an obstetrics office and I can confirm that not everyone does the latter, so I can only assume the same of the former.

Depends on the person, I guess.

Hello :) I've had LANAP surgery as well as tissue grafts for my periodontal disease. I thought I had found a really great dentist a few years ago, but I recently had an issue with a tooth, needed a root canal, they suggested extraction and implant (~$3900 before ins/ $2900 after). Called to get root canal prices, was told I would get an email and then....nothing. I ended up going to my parents dentist and having a root canal, I go tomorrow to get my crown put on.

The new dentist is suggesting the deep scale cleanings, but my old dentist had told me that my periodontal disease is too far advanced and I was wasting my money on the deep scale cleanings I had done previously. My old dentist is also the one that did the LANAP surgery and then a year later sent me to a periodontist for the cut and sew surgery. I guess my question is...What should I do? Should I do the deep scale cleaning with the new dentist or should I just go back to my old dentist?
