[06:43] IsambardPrince The dental hygiene clinic has gotten so bad that it's not worth going. [06:43] schestowitz[TR2] "rianne has article related to dentists [06:43] IsambardPrince It's only $15 for a cleaning, but they've been really bad about rejecting me recently "because of reasons". [06:43] schestowitz[TR2] someone she knows [06:43] IsambardPrince Like inaccurate blood pressure reading theater. [06:44] IsambardPrince Then they have no idea why they have universal precautions (geared towards protection from serious disease like HIV or Hepatitis, which you can't tell from looking at someone), and they turned me away because of a cold sore. [06:44] IsambardPrince Then they started demanding three four hour appointments to get one cleaning done even if they don't reject you. [06:45] IsambardPrince This has gone from a "value proposition if you have some free time and not a lot of money" to something only a retard would sign up for because it values your time at roughly a third of minimum wage, considering the number of hours for the appointments and travel and risk of rejection. [06:45] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2]: I went to the dentist and got one done, in and out in 40 minutes. [06:46] IsambardPrince And she did about the same job the school takes 12 fucking hours for, not counting travel time. [06:46] IsambardPrince It's not really that they're more thorough, it's that they do crazy shit that makes it take forever. [06:47] IsambardPrince They have to document and call their instructor over everything. [06:47] IsambardPrince So just the entire first 4 hours is them calling out some numbers and documenting "Hey, he has a structure on one of his lower molars that's catching this pick. What is that?" The dentist says, "It's just the way his tooth is. Mark it. It's not a cavity." [06:48] IsambardPrince Used to be two appointments though. And at that point it was arguably worth it for some reasons. [06:48] IsambardPrince They throw in a fluoride varnish which dental insurance stops paying for if you are over 18. [06:48] IsambardPrince They had some extra time one day and did sealants on 8 of my teeth for free. [06:49] IsambardPrince Those cost over $100 each at a dentist office. [06:49] IsambardPrince They typically don't do sealants on adults unless you pay cash because then you can have whatever you'll pay for.
