Q.

Can you help – I have given up smoking after 23 years and have now been diagnosed with severe gum disease. I have read your treatment for periodontal gum problems and my dentist says this is what I need. He says I need to have 8 sessions of deep scale cleaning and anti-biotics. These sessions are £98 a time! This is where my problem is. I obviously need this procedure but do I really need 8 sessions? I think my dentist is trying to get money out of me. Please advise me if 8 sessions is common. Thank you very much.
