Stay away from $$$extractive$$$ dentists by getting a second opinion!
My new North Carolina dentist tested the gum pockets in my mouth and found some opportunities for improvement. Next thing I know a super expensive treatment plan was put into my hand with "cleanings" costing thousands of dollars.
Long story short, we were blown out of North Carolina by Hurricane Helene and returned to a property we were trying to sell in Texas. My old Texas dentist took one look at the expensive plan and let out a big sigh....
He said, "They were sending you across an invisible line to the land where you are diagnosed with periodontal disease... and you can't easily go back."
He carefully reviewed the pockets they found and showed that they did not justify the deep gum clean intervention. Instead, he recommended that the next logical step was a good water flosser.
You are reading this because you already know this flosser is primo... Make the investment and take care of your gums!!! And stay away from extractive dentists by getting second opinions!!!
