I was upset that both times my husband went to this dental office for a ROUTINE cleaning, they decided he NEEDED to have a full scaling. Which is the highest tier of the 4 dental cleanings. Insurance WILL NOT pay for this unless the office can prove it is medically necessary, which means the person had bone loss, or periodontal disease.

It is very painful and can cause abscesses and other problems when they totally open up all your gums. A week after they did this he had to see another dentist, as food got in al
