Not your over embellishment for your own gains.
Sorry you are not the only Dentist and I am sure you will be blogged regularly as a poor choice for dental work.
As for cleaning, floss then brush and then brush with scope. If you are one of the folks that produces high amounts of plaque that is another whole story and you need to get blood work first. Plaque on your teeth is the same as it is in your blood.
If you have gum disease, you will not get a cleaning as the Dentist will not incur the risk of a patient having a stroke after a cleaning.
Basically, you are at a higher risk of stroke or severe heart attack.
The back story, most people are deathly afraid of the dentist, why? neglect which then leads to thousands.

“Plaque on your teeth is the same as your blood”
I’ve been in practice for 38 years and I never heard that one! How long have you been in practice? Also, a prophylactic pre-med usually amoxicillin is given to prevent heart attack or stroke in certain patients. That way you don’t get sued for not cleaning the patient’s teeth especially patients with gum disease.
