Don't get me going on dentists.
I assume all are honest, right?
Two dentists in two different states. One in Meredith and one in Arizona.
Different time periods. Within 2 years.
I went in for a simple cleaning with technician in Meredith. The dentist comes in in the end and states that I require over $2,000.00 in dental work. Forget exact words but something like deep gum cleaning or possibly periodontal disease or some such condition.
Later the one in Arizona - again - a cleaning - the dentist comes in and states same or similiar wording. This time I ask for a written estimate. About $3,200.00.
Fortunately I have a high school friend who is a dentist. A 3 hour drive. I make appointment with him. Drive down. He exams me and states that what other dentists are asking for is not needed.
Did I stumble across two dentists that are seeking financial gain needlessly?
Is my high school dentist friend incompetent?
