Dentists ?

The sale of most dental practices won't buy you a 100 acres

Yeah, that was a smart decision. Too many wisdom teeth get removed too.

Had an Aspen dental patient in today. Was told he needed a root canal, crown and nine fillings. I thought he needed one filling. Turns out his family had Randolph equipment in Missouri. New holland dealership

there is no more abused procedure in dentistry than the deep scaling. Aspen dental has never seen a patient that doesn't  need it. Hard to beat the value you get for going to a dental hygiene school to get your teeth cleaned. It might take a little more time but price wise, hard to beat and the quality is great

now there's an idea!

algodones MX is where my dental work is done!  It's about 12 miles from YUMA AZ.

never had a cavity in my 57 yr life but  do get my teeth and gums cleaned twice a year for a bout a 100 a visit

Anybody that is working inside my mouth I'll be very nice to.

Get mine cleaned twice a year, no dental insurance all out of pocket. Hygienist does a great job and easy on the eyes. She is an Air Force veteran and spent most of her time as part of the Security Forces at a missile site so I try not to agitate her too much. 

fianally had all my teeth pulled about 20 sum years ago! was another good choice i made thru the years! no more tooth aches, and cleaning is easy, has had them falsies for 20 sum years, they still show white! on the minus side, sometimes i get a small seed under them, feels like a boulder! lol

I have a friend does that exact deal. Recently left the Midwest and moved to Tucson for the climate. Goes to Mexico for his Dental and minor Doctoring, pays a fraction

I have a basic dental insurance with my Medicare supplemental insurance - pays for 2 cleanings , exam , x rays - but when I went in to have a cleaning - NOPE won't do it as you need deep cleaning and scaling - Asked to just have a regular cleaning - NO CAN'T DO THAT MUST DO deep cleaning - $1500 for that and not covered - 
 I said I don't have a full set of teeth in so called each 4 quadrants , was told if there is 1 tooth in a quadrant you pay just like they all are there - SET PRICE - no discount for missing teeth . 
 When I was leaving receptionist handed me a note - said go to local college, along with phone number to make appointment - they charge $50 for cleaning as part of their hygienist program .
