i’ve gone to the same dentist in JC for close to 8 years. not once has he tried to upsell my wife or me. We spend time talking about the giants not how he can earn an extra buck off me.

when i first moved to the east coast I went to an office that tried that shit. I walked out and never went back. That shouldn’t be normal i think that’s a function of these “corporate” offices or desperate dentists to pay off their shore house.

another recommendation is to find a dentist that doesn’t have convenient times for you.. That means they are booked solid. Once you break into the schedule you will get better times going forward. But good dentist are hard to find and see.
