So when I ask for just a regular cleaning they refused, telling me that would be malpractice because I need a "Deep cleaning". Further, after the deep cleaning I would have to go back to the dentist for a regular cleaning every 2 -3 months for the rest of my life. Sounds like the dental profession has found a way to generate more income.
Trail winds told me it would take a total of 2 hours for the deep cleaning. Total cost $2400 or $1200 per hour
