This is my story-We just switched insurance at work so first I chose Castle Dental. My 21 yr old son went there for a cleaning. You have to schedule x-ray and exam then go make another appt for cleaning. They said he needed a deep cleaning (21yr old who has always gone for cleaning- they are free right? ) they also tried to sell me a $60 (approx) bottle of peri-clean mouth wash. It is just hydrogen peroxide. Well, I let them do it, with reservations but thinking also that they must know what they are doing?? So, the deep cleaning cost me $250. I decided to switch to Lovett the next month so my daughter could get her teeth cleaned. Well guess what! Same thing! They said my 19yr old needed a deep cleaning and 4 filling. Again, my kids have gone to the dentist on a regular basis (they remind me often that they need their teeth cleaned). I was in disbelief and I argued that this was impossible, 4 new cavities and needs a deep cleaning/scaling? Well, with the belief that there is a set of state board of practice laws, we did it. Cost me $500 and my insurance company around $1500. I told them \r
that this keeps people from going to the dentist (who can afford this). Oh, so they also have the 28 day post-op appt that they charge you $68 dollars for even if you elect to not to return. When I got the bill for the $68, I called and they did removed it). The whole experience makes you wonder!!! . Hope this helps.
