I Went For A Standard Scale And Polish The Other Day And My Gums Are Still Bleeding. I Was Wondering If He Did The Right Thing?

Q.

Hi, I went for a standard scale and polish the other day and my gums are still bleeding slightly. My dentist was already aware that I had gum disease and I feel he’s exasperated them now. I was wondering if he did the right thing? Giving me a scale and polish? I feel that he shouldnt have done it just because he was aware of my current situation. Is there anyway I can maybe file for a complaint or something? Would I have grounds to do it? Thanks for your help in advance!

My periodontist suggested having root surface disinfectant, I’m very nervous about Local anaesthetic, is there an alternative?

Q.

I have recently visited a Periodentist to discuss problems with my teeth with a long term view to have implants. She has suggested a treatment called root surface disinfectant alongside oral Hygiene and reassessment. I have three loose teeth which she will make a decision as to whether they need to be removed after this treatment which involves Local anaesthetic. I am very nervous about LA as I have not had this before is there an alternative to this to clean the root ? without the use of local anaesthetic as I feel I may not be able to go ahead with this treatment because of this which will hold up the process of me having implants at a later stage, regards.
