I lately have dental irrigation, which my insurance didn't cover, and I'm wondering if it be worth it.

I had 3 fillings done (upper/lower right) and some sort of gaping cleaning to break up "wings" attached to my teeth below the gums, which I was advised lead to periodontal disease. The cleaning, which was covered by insurance but cost close to $600, took under 10 minutes. After the cleaning, they did a dental irrigation, which as essential as I could tell consisted of squirting 2 syringes full of some form of disinfectant along the gum line, took smaller number than 20 seconds, cost me $120. The irrigation was completely out of pocket - insurance covered $0 - which lead me to believe that it's some form of scam, or at the least was unnecessary.

Can anyone enlighten me if I got... I don't want to say ripped bad, but perhaps misled as to the importance of this procedure?
Answers:
HELLO,
IF THEY ACTUALLY PLACED AN ANTIBIOTIC IN THE SCALED TOOTH GUMS AND TOLD YOU NOT TO FLOSS FOR 7 DAYS, THEN YOU'D BE RIGHTLY JUSTIFIED IN PAYING.
IF THEY SIMPLY USED PERIDEX OR CHLOROHEXINE RINSE FOR THE SCALED TEETH, THIS WASHED OUT IN ABOUT 1 MINUTE AN THE CHARGES ARE REDUNDANT.
THE DENTIST KNEW THEY WOULDN'T PAY FOR THIS, SO THEY CHARGED YOU.
WITH THE TOTAL CHARGED FOR THE SCALING, THE IRRIGATION SHOULD HAVE BEEN GRATIS.
i don't infer you did, plus you can call insurance and before you gain done to make sure you are covered, and if not you can deny. but i own out of pocket expenses too. pd $35 to have wisdom tooth removed after insurance. i also entail a $75 procedure done, and a bite guard run about $160. you can help also by getting extra insurance to back offset. Goodluck
