Because my dentist is not in the network of my insurance, I was looking for another dentist.
I went to Treeline about 2 months ago and had Xray taken. I was told I have periodontal disease and needed an expensive deep cleaning instead of a normal cleaning. I did not get a normal cleaning at the time.
I did some research and talked with a relative abroad who is a dentist and decided not to do the deep cleaning. Instead, I got an appointment for a normal cleaning.
They kept me waiting for 45 minutes. The cleaning was done by the dentist, not an hygienist. He put the air water syringe into my mouth and started to clean my teeth. The water was pouring into my mouth and I was gagging. I said too much water is coming in. Every single time he cleaned one part, he asked me to move my face to a different direction. I remarked that I had never experienced a dentist doing the cleaning. He said he does not have enough workers. Apparently, the office only has an expensive deep cleaning hygienist. After less than 10 minutes, he said he was done. He said my teeth are very clean. The same dentist who weeks earlier wanted to sell me an expensive deep cleaning.
I was quite upset. read more
