Best answer!
Just for cleaning the 31 teeth I have, it's right around $100. I now skip the fluoride treatment. X-rays would, of course, add to the bill. I can't believe you pay that much! I don't even HAVE dental insurance.

I saw this particular dentist 4 months ago. After I had my teeth cleaned I asked to pay for the bill. The hygienist didn't know how to record the payment. I called about a month later and requested a bill. They didn't send it! And again I called ... My next appointment is next week. I'm prepared to talk to them tomorrow Yes, it is VERY high for our area. I think there is some mistake.
If you have the time and inclination, I'd call around some of the dentists in our area and get some idea of the going rate. That way, you have a good reference point from where you live.
Oh, Bob ... I have changed dentists twice now. (In three years). I'm on my third. There is something wrong everywhere it seems. My internist recommended the one I'm going to now. I thought maybe THAT would be a good referral. Not so. Anyway, today is the day I make my calls. I gotta do something. Gotta.
OK ... Better you than my daughter or doctor and I really really mean it. I'll have to see where Cohen has his practice. We'll see what happens when I start this phone thing ...
He is the president of the fan club, Fishy. Can't override the prez. I'm always happy to see you have some time to visit! Hope your 2014 has started well! :D
Hi Bob: The mystery is solved. We have Blue Cross dental insurance. My name was under my husband's name and the Blue Cross office didn't notice it. It caused all sorts of drama, but not we know. I found out that all dental insurances go by Social Security numbers. Blue Cross goes by name and that's why they have the problems with dentists.

Everything is high here including wages.It's one of the most expensive countries in the world to live in.That's why General Motors & Ford are pulling out.Wages are too high.So everything else is high.
Yes, our son is doing well. I can only guess HOW well.He sent us a Cristmas gift that almost bowled me over.
He said there were no homeless people around gladstone. Everybody is wealthy? Maybe Bechtel will pull out? Lot of questions there, Mr. Australia.

We DO have homeless. Probably not as visible as yours but they are around.Gladstone is prosperous at the moment.My Son In law worked there when he was with Bechtel.(Boyne Island).

Maybe I should fly to Texas from California and have my teeth cleaned, Julie, how did you get that blue font?
Oh ... I've always wanted to type in color. I thought maybe our new wonderful machines was allowing for that now. Mine just continues to make waffles and knows no new tricks.

In the UK we pay about £15 for a check up , and about £20 for a clean. That probably doesn't sound much, but remember we pay a lot of national insurance all the time we are working, that's on top of income tax.

My brother-in-law dropped his in to the toilet bowl as he went to flush it, and he washed them and put them back into his mouth. Rather him than me.
sunnyB: Something about the way you said that made me laugh so hard I ... .... ...rolled right off my chair. : D
My condolences to your brother-in-law. I would have just let them go.......or go without ....................MAYBE!

I'm almost 72 and I still have all my own teeth. No dental insurance either but I've done without some other things, in order to pay for dental care. (Cleaning at my dentist costs about $170.)
OK ... those were good words. I've been thinking of passing on the teeth cleaning this time but your voice plays in my head:
HANG ON TO YOUR TEETH. Thanks, terryfossil.

I get free teeth cleaning through my dental insurance.

We have dental insurance and the amount I mentioned is WITH dental insurance. <gag ... chatter> I guess our insurance isn't good enough.
No, you need better insurance that covers a bigger percentage of the cleaning fee or covers the cleanings completely.
I've posted this in another place. It's important.
For those who have Blue Cross dental insurance be sure your dentist looks for the second name on the policy. Our dental office always has trouble and Blue Cross doesn't automatically count the second name.They are the only insurance plan that goes by names. The others go by social security numbers. That caused us a lot of trouble just finding it out!
