Default Dental mark-ups (yikes!)

I have been to those “smooth talking dental facilities” around here. I do need some work done, for sure, on my teeth, but when I asked for an estimate, I was shocked. I don’t have insurance, BTW. One of the offices presented me with a written estimate of $22,000! I was speechless.

I went to another dentist the next day and he cleaned my teeth...with no issues!!!! He said NOTHING was wrong with my teeth and my cleaning was easy!!!

There are dentist in this area that are looking to rip off older people that don't go receive second and third opinions on major dental work! If someone tells you that you need more than a cleaning you should get a second and possibly third opinion from dentists that are highly recommended !!!!
