Almost every dentists I went to, recommended a deep cleaning for $640. Thanks, but no thanks.
I was informed by a dental hygentists I didn't need one, and when they see you live in TV, they assume you have money to burn, for dental work
Honest dentists is an oxymoron. I went to another dentists for a very small opening on top of one tooth. He recommended having to remove several things to get to the spot and that costs about $2200. Sorry, but I am not buying them a Mercedes.
I called my old dentists and he thought a deep cleaning wasn't needed. If I listened to the dentists in TV, my teeth are on the verge of falling out, any minute!!!! It's much cheaper to go back to CT, than to listen to the dentists here, that want to rip a person off, for thousands of dollars.
I went to another dentists for a regular cleaning and they tried to tell me I needed about $3500 worth of repairs but them being the nice people they are, it would be only $2100 to me.
I think it is a racket!!!
The search goes on for an honest dentists that my plan will take.
