Dental Insurance, Gingivitis treatment and gum care
Hello I think I may be getting gingivitis or gum disease. I am not sure which but my gums are really red and when I brush they bleed. I am told those are signs of bad gums. I have not been to a dentist in a long time I really do not like going. I think they are all out to just take your money. Which is something I do not have much of.
Is there any dental insurance that will cover for treatment of gums for free? If so I would get it that way I know the dentist is not over charging me. Otherwise is there anything I can do without having to go to the dentist for care?

There is dental insurance you can get that may offer free to low cost preventive dental care but sounds like you may need deep cleanings.
Deep cleanings are what the dentist like to do when you are having gum issues. And since they are more of a major dental need dental insurance would help you will the cost but do not count on it being free.
Either way you look at it you need to see a dentist to determine if you are having issues with your gums and or teeth. Having dental insurance would help make dental care more affordable so if I was you I get some regardless.

It really sounds like you need to see a dentist to me. Bleeding gums are not a good sign neither them being red. You can pick up a dental HMO plan which will lay out your cost for dental services.
Then choose a plan the has the best price for deep cleaning because more then likely that will be what you will need, since you not going to the dentist regularly.

You really should not mess around with gum issues. If you want to keep your teeth go see a dentist. They are not out there to rip you off. Get some dental insurance and deal with your oral issues.
