So I thought I would start this thread and ask for some advice. From those who have been in the same position.
I saw a periodontist and was diagnosed with generalised chronic periodontitis (Stage II and Grade B)
The itemised treatment quote is $1800 - though it states at the bottom this is an estimate.
$370 per quadrant x4
$80 for periodic oral exam
$75 Clinical periodontal analysis & recording
Supportive periodontal therapy -per appointment $165 ( not sure what this means)
Now being on welfare, I would struggle to pay this but, I have a relative who has offered to loan me the money. Is it best to proceed as I am concerned that that there is no way back here?
I should also note that I have an appointment for a periodontal assessment in the public system although I am not sure what happens there and if any treatment is actually undertaken.
I am just concerned if i do the initial cleans and thats not enough i need more work down the line.
