Your dental care is restricted by your dental insurance company. If you had no insurance you would get the real dental treatment plan needed to be of benefit to you.. when a patient comes in they usually do not want to spend a nickel out of pocket and just want what the insurance covers. So the dentist is generally restricted to a quick once a year prophy.. when patients start realising dental insurance is not only a garbage payment plan but is also detriment to their dental health they will start cancelling their policies. Save money improve your dental care by cancelling policies.
