Periodontal Cleans
If you have periodontal disease which is a type of gum disease that can destroy your jawbone, more frequent cleans is needed. The dentist in Parramatta or oral health therapist will give you a treatment plan and you may be required to come in every 3 months instead of 6 months.
Your 6 monthly routine cleans will be no gap if you have private health insurance. However the 3 monthly periodontal cleans will have a fee depending on the number of teeth which requires a deep clean.
The item number for periodontal clean is 222 and for some private health insurance it is considered to be under major dental. To know how much you will be out of pocket for your periodontal cleans, it is best to take the treatment plan to the private health insurance. They will be able to inform the patient the exact fee they are able to claim and the amount out of pocket on the day.
