Periodontal Work
21 Answers
Have been told by my dentist that I need 'deep clean' periodontal work as I have gum disease. Anyone had this and if so is it painful - my dentist says it will be done under local anaesthetic but am not looking forward to it nor to the hefty quotation for the work because even though I pay £30 per month to Denplan apparently this type of treatment is not covered!! Has anyone had this kind of treatment on the NHS.

I recently had this done on the NHS, cost about £60, I think. It's really an extreme scale and polish. I had a local anaesthetic and she cleaned under the under the gums, nothing like as extreme as cutting the gums and stitching them back up!!! She recommended flossing and using a mouthwash every day afterwards.
I have never gone private, but perhaps we're just lucky in the West Midlands as there are plenty of NHS dentists in my area. I'd definitely change if I were you.
