I am pretty sure everyone knows that getting a second opinion for anything medical is a good idea. In your post #4, you said root planing (deep cleaning) is "probably a scam". It is not and I fail to see the value in offering opinions on something you clearly don't know anything about.

In my case, the dental office in The Villages wanted to do over $5,000 worth of dental work. But two other dentists told me that most of the work was not needed or recommended. I just recommend getting a second opinion.
