I have moderate Periodontitis and need dental care
I just used the dental insurance plan that I get though my work. I had picked a dentist in the dental insurance plan network of providers. Before now just seeing the dentist I have not seen a dentist in around five years.
However my teeth back then were just fine. I only went to the dentist because I figured why not a cleaning and X-rays were free so I may as well just go. The dentist now tell me that I have moderate Periodontitis and I need to have a deep cleaning that going to cost me even with my insurance over $400.00.
I told him no that it is too much for me to pay for just to have a cleaning. He said if I did nothing I will start to loose my teeth. Is he just trying to scare me into having this more expensive dental work? I being duped out of more money? or is it really that probable that I can loose my teeth?
