And how long is the interval required after each deep cleaning.

Will appreciate if anyone can answer my questions immediately. Thank you very much.

hi there chris usually if the dentist diagnosed you that you need a deep cleaning you usually at least go to a series of appointment in most cases they do it in a 2 visit program it just depends on how you tolerate the procedure. deep cleaning is basically a procedure wherein you you get numbed and do the supra and subgingival scaling so it will be at least more comfortable for you to tolerate the procedure. in dentristry term they called in scaling or root planing or subgingival currettage. usually they do it per quad like let say for example upper right and lower right. if you dont have any missing teeth usually per quad has eight teeth for an adult patient (including third molars) so per quad is usually 8 teeth.

in most usual cases its advisable for you to have a deep cleaning even if you have fistula so that way they can drain the abcess that you have, BUT if the dentist founds out that your abcess is periapical which means you have an abcess in the apex area of your tooth then the case is in it should be in your dentist discretion. that way they can determine exactly whats best for you. usually the procdure interval after you had your first appointment for deep cleaning is 1 week , it depends how you tolerate the procedure and again it depends upon what your dentist says
