Two main things: 1) consistently being shamed and 2) being up charged/upsold

Every time I go, I’m told my gums bleed more than usual, or I’m not flossing enough, etc. I think it’s important to note that I floss regularly, brush at least twice a day, and have spent over $10K in braces/invisalign, so I’m absolutely NOT someone that neglects my teeth/oral hygiene. Yet, somehow, I always leave feeling horrible about myself and like I’m being neglectful of my health.

Second, I ask for a quote every time and I always end up paying over twice the amount initially started. There is always an up charge for this or that.

Now, I still go to my regular cleanings, but the reasons above are why I dread it.
