Dentist----ripoff?

[lilrick]

so I went to the dentist today for a scheduled "cleaning", and I ended up hearing a sales pitch for a deep cleaning that is going to cost me 1k out of pocket!! Is this a ripoff?

What kind of dental insurance do you have?
I have two good friends who are high paid dentists, I can ask their opinion.

The deep cleaning is legit. It sucks and it is when they scrape clean and/or clean by sonic means to remove years of placque(sp?) build-up above and below the gum line. I blew the dentist off for a few years a while ago and I paid about $800 to have it done. I am a freak now about keeping up on all this stuff. Don't skip the 6-month cleanings

they just want to put you under the gas so they can finish your tatto. You know, change if from a Rat in a Flat to a Mouse in a Jet.

Your going to the wrong dentist Rick. I'll try and dig up the card to my dentist. He works on a lot of Longshoreman and he knows how to work the insurance so it costs you almost nothing. You would have to drive to Pedro though.
