I'm getting my teeth and gums cleaned 
After getting a toothache and having to go to the dentist and hearing horrible things about what could happen if you don't take care of your teeth, I am now super-duper anal-retentive about brushing, flossing, and keeping my teeth clean! |
This procedure was recommended
on my first visit to a new dentist some years ago - actually a referral to an in-house periodontist. Of course, insurance wouldn't cover that procedure. Amazingly, it was also recommended to my spouse on her first visit as well later that day.
I went back to my old dentist, even though she dropped my dental plan, and started paying out of pocket. I shared my concerns about depth, etc. on the supposed measurements. Turns out, I was fine! Needlesss to say, I'm still with her.
Some procedures may be recommended to pay for the M5 sitting out in the parking lot.
