Major Cleaning at the Dentist’s Office
Yesterday our son had to have his teeth cleaned and his gums treated at the dentist’s office. The hygienist numbed his gums with about 6 or more shots. Then he used a device to remove most of the plaque, followed up with a great deal of scraping. The next thing he did was to measure the pockets between our son’s teeth.
He then proceeded to apply a medicine called Arestin to the roots of his teeth. Fortunately we have Medicaid! This treatment would have cost about $1600 otherwise!
I feel sure Oram Plus, being a natural method, is effective and much less invasive or expensive. Still, we were glad to be able to get the treatment done. However, the hygienist said that the Arestin would have to be applied every three months! Who could ever afford that? Although, he said it wouldn’t have to be quite as thorough an application as the first time.
Fortunately, our son’s gums are not sore today. He really has done well. It was a trying ordeal having all that treatment done yesterday.
