Hey, I must tell you that if you've never had a cleaning using ultrasonic equipment, you are going to the wrong dentist! This newish technology is quicker, more efficient, less painful, and gives a better result than the traditional scraping with those horrid pointy things. Sometimes hand scraping in addition to the ultrasonic is necessary, but still, if you can reduce the amount of time someone is scraping away at your mouth, great!
We did an x-ray on the lower left tooth -- the one that was deemed unsaveable -- and it does appear there is not only reattachment but the beginnings of bone regeneration. It's too soon to declare the tooth saved, but I have high hopes!
We're still a few months away from deciding on whether I'll go with orthodontia or veneers...I'm looking into Lumineers as a possibility. Any thoughts appreciated.
