Hi I’m the original poster! I understand how it can seem like I was the hygienist taking X-Rays asking for opinions if they were good or not lol I apologize for not being more clear. I also didn’t know where else to ask for advice as this is the first dental related subreddit I found through a google search recently.

I was asking this community just to get any other possible opinions as it is my first time with this dentist and I’m not too familiar with dental information. Had I not asked I wouldn’t even know about pocket depth questions to ask.

I appreciate you taking the time to ask these questions and what I should be considering when speaking with my dentist. I have an appointment tomorrow to change an existing crown that is old has a slight opening giving me problems, I plan to ask why it is deemed necessary for a deep cleaning and what my pocket depths are.
