I have a history of gum disease, and had my gums treated by a periodontist privately at the recommendation of my NHS dentist. It cost me 1k, but the dentist said there was nowhere I could go to have it done on the NHS. My dentist has now left the practice so I am looking for a really good new NHS dentist who might be able to treat my gums themselves. Is that realistic? My gums have been bleeding again a bit, and I think I need the cleaning under the gums, but I really can't afford another £1k bill to get it sorted.
I have dental insurance through work, but it never seems to cover all the treatments costs, and they don't cover perio anyway.
Can you advise me what I should do?
Thanks :)
