I show up, they look annoyed I walk in (clue #1)

New patient; I tell them I'm here, they say they cancelled the appointment, oops. I say, too bad you can't do that. (mistake number 1). I drove 25 miles to be there (I'm moving to that city soon, thought I'd pick a dentist close). They said, well, we can't get ahold of your insurance today(Dec 23rd), so you'll have to pay cash (Clue #2). I say, how much? They say: 40 bucks for a cleaning; I say, fine I'll be reimbursed. They keep me waiting 1 hour (clue #3), and take about a half hour taking like 50 pictures (clue #4). Then the dentist comes in and says, your teeth are great (I always get that from dentists) but you have level 4 out of 10 pockets in two places and we here consider that gingivitus, so you have to see a hygenist. We have an opening but it will be 90 bucks (Clue Dani!) and I say screw you, just do the cleaning; she says and I quote:

We won't do the cleaning because that gritty stuff might irritate the bacteria in the pocket of your teeth. Ohhhhh you mean the FLOURIDE PASTE???

GOD!

So I quickly bend over and they take the 40 bucks from my ass! and I beat a hasty retreat; get a bug to call my insurance...I do... they are open!!!!

I knew from the SECOND I walked in there not to continue. When will I follow my intuition. Grrr.

Now I'm not sure what to do. My teeth are not clean and I sure as hell am not comfortable going back to the lie pit.

hahahaha there's a dentist ad on my version of this page.
