I told them I could not afford that and would not accept that type of cleaning. The price came down to $400 and I said nope, still too much. When I walked out of the dentist office with my first set of x-rays and a complete teeth cleaning I ended up paying a total of $98. Stand your ground and you will be fine. If they refuse go to another dentist.
$98., you are getting what you paid for, very little. Ask yourself if you could pay rent, utilities, insurance, salaries, supplies and make a small profit for $98. for the hour. Too funny, people here pay more for their dog’s teeth cleanings.
