Dear Ron,
Thank you for your comment. Coast Dental follows the guidelines established by the American Academy of Periodontology. Three out of four American adults have some form of periodontal disease. The earliest stage is gingivitis.
Periodontal disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults over the age of 35. Unfortunately, many insurance companies only cover preventive maintenance, often called a "healthy mouth cleaning."
If you have any questions about your wife's treatment, I encourage you to have her call her dentist and to visit www.perio.org. You can also contact our Patient Relations team at 1-855-455-6601. Thank you.
