Did they chart the depth of any pockets? Do you have periodontal disease?
They didn't give me a chart, but when I discussed it with my previous longtime dentist from Virginia, he said that I didn't need a deep cleaning, and my new dentist in Leesburg agreed. No periodontal disease.

I don't care where the money goes either, but I don't have dental insurance, and I certainly would not pay a hygienist 20 times as much as the average hourly rate for a dental hygienist.
