My hygenist did a deep cleaning and root planing used antibiotics for pockets that were 5 and 6 three months ago at a cost to me with insurnace of over $1400 When I went back FOUR weeks ago the pockets were down to 3 and 4.
She referred me to a periodontist becuase she was worried about a gap between my wisdom tooth and the new cap next to it, which was causing food to sit between the two teeth and wanted his opinion (I had the dentist re-do the tooth, but it was still the same, funny but the temporaries didn't have a gap).
The periodontist said I have 8 and 9's and he wants to remove four back teeth, do bone reconstruction and gum surgery, He says I have loose teeth 1 of them is a 3 and two of them are 2's Then why did I pay $1400 and the hygenist says the improvement was great, no bleeding etc and why did I pay for caps that are now need taking out. Removal of these teeth will also involve taken out another cap that I had done last year.
Am I being scammed by the periodontist or is my hygenist wrong and there is no improvemment.
If I go ahead with all this what should the cost run
