I don't worry about where the money is going - not my concern. My concern would be a correct diagnosis and effective treatment. My wife practiced for 35 years and we have, according to her, an excellent dentist so we don't typically have any real concerns. Our dentist is not inside The Villages.
Did they chart the depth of any pockets? Do you have periodontal disease?

My dentist in Leesburg has not recommended a deep cleaning.
