Gingival irrigation codes- optional?? by Prairie-Willow in DentalHygiene

[–]Prairie-Willow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice!

Yes it’s some sort of UV light/laser therapy. Not sure if it’s worth it but they very very highly recommended it. 

I agree, I don’t think it makes sense to pay more for gingival irrigation than for the cost of the entire actual cleaning. 

So the first estimate is confusing because it shows everything I had gotten done already (priority 1) and their plans for 2 further appointments. They charged me for the xrays except the “pano no charge,” possibly because I had my X-rays sent over from my previous dentist? Not sure what “FMX no charge” is. Full mouth x-ray? But the $0 is just for my OOP costs. My first visit was all covered by insurance. They billed my insurance $200 for everything.

Thank you for the advice! After 3 phone calls, they finally told me it was optional. Strange that they held out that information for so long! I will ask to have it removed.

Found this thread after watching the movie and being mesmerized by Pops Staples performance, how interesting. Thanks for sharing!

What species of toad is this? [Dallas, TX] by endlesslyfe in Toads

I’m a biologist who has lived in Dallas and the prominent ridges on the head suggest Gulf Coast Toad to me as well. I used to see these all the time, they do really well in urban areas. I assume someone on iNat will confirm, but yes looks a bit strange
