I would like to know what others experience when they go to their dentist's office for routine cleaning. My husband and I have our teeth cleaned at the dentist's office every 3 months. We also did this when we were up in Ohio. In Ohio, at each visit, after the hygenist was finished, the dentist would always come in and exam, perhaps check gums, etc.

Here in Florida, we rarely see the dentist. My husband is upset about this as every time he goes, he asks the hygenist how he is doing. They always tell him he is doing great. Now, they took some x-rays (and it has probably been way over a year since they last did this) and tell him he has a cavity near a crown and they don't know if it can be easily fixed.

We go to Palm Ridge Dental now. However, if there is a dentist out there who operates more like we are used to up north, we would be willing to make a change.

Thanks,

Mary Lou
