At least with a used car, it doesn’t cost me $135 to clean it.
The cleanings don’t bother me so much. Its the “oh the roots dying and you need a root canal and a crown, and you really should do crowns on 4 so they all look the same” for $6,000 that bugs me.
It was nearly an emergency if I wanted to save the tooth. That was 10 years ago and I still have it and the root still tests ok. bastard probably had a BMW payment due.
