110 is a fair price for cleaning. Dental plans dot com show cost by dentist and procedure. About 10 a month for discounted pricing. Excellent if your dentist participates

Had occasion to "fill in" once at one of the corporate chains. Didn't get the lectures about how it works. Was basically just there so that they could legally be open that day. It was mostly patients coming in for emergency first visits. After examination and x-rays, a "treatment coordinator" came in and presented the company's standard (I presumed) treatment plan.
The patient's chief complaint was ignored - even with pain and obvious swelling. When I checked back in with the patient - who was still in pain - I found that his series of "deep cleanings" had already begun. They must teach some *very* fine "scripts". Our world has a fair bit of absurdity going around.
