In April I had a regular appointment with the dentist I've been seeing the past 7 years. I was busy and wanted to reschedule. They could not until June.
In May I found I'd be busy in June. I called Delilah's dentist office. They could see me right away.
The guy had his biblography in the waiting room: Westie, with time in 'raq, and discharged from the 4th ID while in Colorado Springs, falls in love with CU co-ed and goes to dental school. Buys the local practice from Delilah's retired dentist. Nice Story.
Anyway, after the x-rays and exam, he lets me know I have three (3) cavities, and I need a "Deep Cleaning." During the past 7 years, I've not had either issue. He explains that a periodontal scaling and root planing- four or more teeth per quadrant, requires several visits because they are lengthy painful procedures, and asks if I would like a perscription for Valium. Introduces me to the 14 year old hygenist. Total bill for Proposed Treatment: $2165.00 with $288.20 my share.
Today I returned to my regular dentist to get a second opinion: No cavities, and a regular cleaning. See you in 6 months.
