This corrupt dentist office pressures you into unnecessary procedures just to get the insurance money. Here's how: I went in for a checkup to which they told me I needed 7 fillings, with the total out of pocket co-pay exceeding $300. This was surprising to me as I take extremely good care of my teeth. That said, I asked many times if it was absolutely necessary to get that many fillings because I was a college student living on my own and I really didn't have extra money to blow on unnecessary procedures. In the end though they assured me it was important to get it taken care of now or else it would be more costly later on. Not knowing anything, I proceeded to have the first 2 fillings taken care of. This was back in November. Ever since then, the location of the filling has been extremely sensitive and painful, despite the fact that I went back twice to have it "fixed." HERE IS THE KICKER: Fast forward 7 months later, I go to an honest dentist which my parents go to see. After getting checked out, I expect them to tell me that I need the remaining 5 cavities taken care of. Their response? "You don't need any fillings whatsoever." TLDR: Don't go here unless you have extra money laying around to blow on pointless procedures which will leave you in pain indefinitely.
