Periodontal Services: Caring for Your Gums
Q: How does the plan help with gum care and periodontal services?
A: The plan covers scaling, root planing, and periodontal surgery to maintain gum health.
After noticing bleeding gums, Sarah visits her dentist, who diagnoses early-stage gum disease. The dentist performs scaling and root planing, which are fully covered by the plan. Over the next few months, Sarah’s gums improve, but the dentist warns that she may need gingival surgery if her condition worsens. Fortunately, the plan allows for periodontal surgery once every five years per sextant, ensuring Sarah can receive the care she needs, no matter what.
With her gum health back on track, Sarah is grateful that the insurance made advanced care accessible. She feels empowered to maintain her dental health with regular cleanings and follow-ups, knowing her insurance will always have her covered.
