How can you justify $1100 for a procedure that is not even performed by a dentist?
This is exactly what a friend back home who is a dental technician told me. Her dentist rarely sees a need, and if he does it's real. But prior places she worked at sold deep cleanings and root scaling like a drive-thru attendant selling fries with that burger.
