Unhealthy gums
Hello, I went for a consultation to a dentist since I have regular problem in my gums as its bleeding and teeth started becoming sensitive.. Doctor suggested me to undergo deep cleaning treatment.. I really want to do it but he says it would be around 15k for it.. I feel it's too expensive but still want to take that treatment.. I atleast need 6 months time to finish all my commitments and save money to take this as my insurance company won't cover dental treatments.. So please suggest me I could get this treatment for lesser cost and is it possible to take it after 6 months.. Really worried it would affect strength of my teeth if i wait for that longer

Hi,if you have bleeding gums that means infection of gums has already started.but dignosis is of utmost importance so OPG is must for you.please get it done and it will not cost you much.afterthat meet your Dentist as amount of bone loss,and ligament widening can help in correct Dignosis.ifbone loss is not present then deep scaling is sufficient with regular hygiene maintainence otherwise there other good options are always there.
