US Healthcare question
My gums are not in great shape. A dentist has recommended a deep cleaning with scaling, laser curettage, and antibiotics for 8 teeth. My teeth themselves are fine, but the gums are receding quite a bit.
Antibiotics are not covered by insurance, and the dentist wants to bill $150 per tooth. This feels like a huge expense when money is tight, and I'm wondering if the quote is excessive or there's any other way of getting treatment. The entire procedure is estimated to cost about $1600.
Are the antibiotics essential? I'd rather get the treatment I need than pay for it with my health later, but $1200 in antibiotics alone is quite a lot to shoulder.
Thank you for your time and help!
