Very sad about my first appointment here. I let them know I wanted an exam and cleaning. The exam consisted of 4 x rays, no one measures gum depth, touched the teeth or anything, just 4 xrays, and a list of over 2500$ of things I should be doing.
The dentist stated she wouldn't do a cleaning because she referred me to a peridontal cleaning . I had explained before making the appointment, I will GET that done but I NEED a regular cleaning.
The cleaning was weird... the polish was, a joke, then the dentist came in and water picked and scraped a little, not much.
The cavities they are saying I have are actually wanting to remove old fillings and replace them with new ones.
The whole experience was distressing, the hygienest was great, kind, and polite.
oh.... and the "cure" for TMJ I was suggested was botox at $600 every 6 months... yeah thanks.... I don't have TMJ from grinding my teeth, that a symptom of the TMJ. Overall waste of time, and yet another experience making me want to avoid the entire dental world and just remove my teeth. :( read more
