Case Description
My insurance covers 90% for scaling and root planning. However, my dentist is charging me separate for the anesthetics? Isn't anesthesia covered under the procedure?

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Thank you for your inquiry.I can speak for other offices, however our practice don''''tcharge any additional fees for anesthetics. Unless your taking a sedative? In your case is not very common for patients to request such medication unless they have anxiety. Please feel free to login to our website. You can also come in for a complimentary consultation.We accept multiple insurances. Best of Luck.
