holy ripoff, dude. $300 is nuts. tops ive paid was about $110 a year or so ago

Dental Hygienists start at $65/hr around here... more experienced ones make much more. Add X-Rays and a Dentist check and it makes sense.

You are being ripped off big time if your dentist takes X-Rays before cleaning your teeth!!!

I assume he means before every cleaning. That would seem excessive to me.
 
So long dental plan!

My university has it's own dental office. I get dental work really cheap, and not by students!
 
Just a cleaning can be from $50-$150 but x-rays are a few hundred on top of that for the first visit, and if you have any cavities they cost like $200-$500 each to repair.

Why not? My insurance thinks it's needed enough they'll pay for it every 8 months. I only pay $60 out of my pocket.

Every dentist I've been to recommended X-rays every 12 months (i.e. every other visit), and that's what my dental insurance plans have always covered.

well, hair grows back. I'd rather not some neophyte dental hopeful fuck up my pearly yellows, let alone introduce a staph infection due to lax sterile technique.

You're on thin ice with your video quote spamming, mister.

The difference? We knew when to quit.

no, you see, you're last quote in this nest equaled the first vacation in that incident.

nary a warning handed out (though I do understand the vacations handed out for those continuing after the first vacations)
 
my dentist quoted $90
