Had similar experiences, you are not alone. Something seems not quite right here, more like a retail store than a profession ? Kind of like dental McDonald's. It's very difficult to find a true dentist as we've experienced elsewhere. The endless needles X-rays (not for any specific purpose), the cost of a simple cleaning here, and the constant urging that something awful is going to happen if "deep" cleaning with antibiotics is needed, all kinds of advice. If at all possible for you, we've found visiting our dentist (actually now his son !) when back to our former home is a very wise investment, even if not having any problems. You may find that many of the things you are being told are kind of boarder line professional, possible but not probably and that most dentists would not urge you into. Have had friends here with grown children in Tampa area, Orlando area, who were able to guide them to the kind of dentist you, and many of us were more used to before moving to The V's. Also have met very aggressive doctors ! Former GP recommended (due to many factors, diet, healthy life style, family medical history, etc. etc.) that going straight to the most invasive colon testing is NOT best in my case, so annual less invasive test. Doctors here said wrong, stool (sorry) test useless waste of time, annual invasive test only what they use, always at the same lab (curious ? when something like this is called for previously, we've always been able to choose where it was done, for instance, where we lived previously, some labs were known to have equipment brands with much higher radiation exposures than others for such things as mammography and other tests ! Seem like walking a mine field here at times.
