I had the same negative experience as the previous review. It is unfortnate that I did not find this review site prior to my office visit. I went in for a regular cleaning and was told that I had deep pockets and needed deep scaling cleaning, and the hygienist wanted to being work immediately, yelling out that she needed my 'financials'. I explained that I only wanted the regular cleaning for now, and she continued to tell me how advanced my gum condition was and that I had bacteria infested in my mouth and that she had never seen such an advanced case in such a young individual. She told me that I obviously skip on brushing and flossing (when in reality, I brush a minimum of three times a day and floss regularly). She spent so much time trying to sell me on the deep cleaning, that I ended up with no time for the regular cleaning. She explained to me that she would only be able to do a very surface cleaning because another patient was waiting. I was billed for the cleaning, but the job was far from thorough. And it was painful! My mouth was sore for a week after the brutal 'surface cleaning' that I received. I have since received a second opinion-I am happy to report that my gums&teeth are in fact very healthy
