reasonable dentist
 
I'm looking for a good reasonable dentist. I don't care weather he/she is in TV or not.

Thanks

I'd like to find one also who doesn't want to place a crown on every tooth, give you that million dollar smile and a deep cleaning - what happened to the good reasonable dentists??

Dr. Forest Jerkins in Fruitland Park on 441. I went to him for an emergency and he took care of me quickly and with no upsell. I go every six months now for cleaning and when he checks me after the cleaning there is no attempt to schedule additional services. The staff is friendly and accommodating.

I sent a neighbor to him who was having pain and he raved about how professionally he was treated.

Good to know---thanks for the post. Seems everyone wants to "upsell" you today. I just want my teeth to last as long as me---I'm pretty enough so says the wife!

Yur request for a reasonable dentist just eliminated 100% of dentist in Florida.

Both my husband & I are very happy with Dr Hope at Marion Dental. Been with them for almost 12 yrs.

Reasonable and dentists doesn't go in the same sentence. At least, that is what I am experiencing with my plan. I have found that several businesses seem to want to up sell you not just dentists.

I don't understand why someone has to check your whole being before they will perform a basic service. I went to a dental place that informed me that I had to have a full examination before thay would clean my teeth. The exam revealed that I needed to have seven teeth pulled immediately and a upper denture for the missing teeth for only 2,000. After the examination, they still wouldn't let me make an appt to clean my teeth and informed me that I need to go to a periodontists for the teeth cleaning. I want to keep my teeth as long as possible before resorting to this major development as they are not bothering me a bit in terms of pain.

Arrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggggggggggggg!!!!!!! The periodontists wasn't in my plan.

I will wait until Jan when my new plan is in effect so I can go to the dentist.

Thanks mikeod for the suggestion of Forest Jenkins in Fruitland Park. :smiley:

We both go to Main Street Dental in downtown Leesburg. Dentists are husband and wife and the staff is great. Cleaning and checkup are quite reasonable.
