My teeth are sensitive and painful. Two weeks ago, I went in for a cleaning and had to leave because it hurt so bad. My dental insurance lapsed, and I can only pay so much for dental care. This dentist works with my budget, but I am concerned that I am going to lose all my teeth before I can pay for another deep cleaning. Maybe it was a mistake to let the office do the first deep cleaning. What can I do? Thank you. Dominici from TN<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Dominici,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have advanced gum disease, and you need to take care of it. If the dentist you have seen works with your budget and gives good dental care, talk to him or her about it. You may need to ask for a periodontist (gum specialist) to avoid losing your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Painful deep teeth cleaning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/affordable-dentist-plano-tx-lacy.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/affordable-dentist-plano-tx-lacy.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of a woman in a dental chair with a dentist and hygienst on either side of her; for information on affordable dentistry from Plano TX female dentist Dr. Miranda Lacy.\" class=\"wp-image-1165\" width=\"256\" height=\"385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/affordable-dentist-plano-tx-lacy.jpg 266w, https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/affordable-dentist-plano-tx-lacy-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Find an affordable dentist you can trust<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Often before deep cleaning, a hygienist will apply local anesthetic to minimize your discomfort. Infected and inflamed gums must be cleaned deeply\u2014to where your teeth and gums are attached. But the pain you described sounds more severe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes deep cleaning can provoke an active infection, which increase inflammation and pain. Your dentist can prescribe antibiotics for you to take until you complete deep cleaning appointments. And you can phase the deep cleaning. Schedule two appointments and wait a week or two before completing treatment\u2014but take the antibiotics until treatment is complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Time to switch dentists<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend that you find another <a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/affordable-dentist.html\">dentist who will work with your budget<\/a> by offering payment plans or financing. Your dentist has not readily referred you to a periodontist to control your gum disease. Treatment from a periodontist will be effective and more comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aggressive gum disease leads to tooth loss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the American Academy of Periodontology, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.perio.org\/for-patients\/gum-disease-information\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">aggressive gum disease<\/a> (periodontitis) causes your gums to detach from your teeth and leads to jawbone loss.
