Hi All,
I'm scheduled for a deep cleaning with the Periodontist next week because a routine exam found some inflamation and 2 pockets. My Dental Insurance covers Perio Scale but not the Gingival Irrigation (45$ per quad extra). The Periodontist explained that the Gingival Irrigation fee was for a topical treatement post-cleaning that helps with healing and kills bacteria. I asked what product they used in which I received this response:
Active ingredients: Diphenyl 1% / Tetracyclin 125/5ml
Carbamide Peroxide 10% liquid
Should I get the Gingival Irrigation treatment which I need to pay extra for? Is it effective?
Thank you!
