My gums have been red and sore the past month.  I last saw a dentist about eight months ago and all my teeth were fine but I was told that I should get a deep cleaning.  However, without insurance they were quoting me over $400 to have the work done.

Which I did not do.  After all my teeth were in good shape and I really did not see anything wrong with my gums.   Now eight months latter my gums are red and sore when I brush and some times when I eat.  Is this because I did not have the deep cleaning that was suggested to me?  If so and I really need to have it done is there insurance for this so that it will cost much less the $400 that I still do not have.
