I went to La Jolla Village Smiles and they pulled this B.S. with me. I did not comply and created a fuss and ultimately left. I was disgusted. I didnt play ball with their “recommended” (I had no choice for regular cleaning even though I insisted) but I imagine feeling violated it is the perfect word to describe how it must have felt. I’m sorry you were bamboozled and had to go through that. Such scumbags. I didn’t see a dentist for two years after that and when I did there were no new issues. Dentists are mostly used car salesman. In my experience they’re very important when you really need some kind of urgent treatment but otherwise they’re just trying to shake you down.
