I used to go here when I was growing up, and never really had a problem with it (other than "getting in trouble" for not taking as good care as I should have - but that's common).

Now that I moved back to this area, I went to go see them again and have mixed reviews.

Be prepared - when you first go here to get a cleaning, make sure you floss daily for at least 2 weeks first!  They have a standard policy that Dr. Scott does an exam and if you have more than 10 bleedings, they will NOT do a cleaning that day.  You have to go home and brush/floss regularly for 2 weeks and come back in to get re-examined.  If you still have excessive bleeding, they will take you in for extensive scraping.  If not, then you can finally get your cleaning.

While I understand the principle, had I known this ahead of time, I would not have gone.  Especially since I am switching insurance before the 2 weeks is up.  Now I have to go find a new dentist before my insurance runs out, which I hate to do.

Scott is a pretty good dentist - he has a sense of humor but he will get on your case if you're not taking proper care of your mouth & gums.  

Plus, the x-ray machine in the office was not up to par, so I had to hold it in place while the technician ran back to take the x-ray.
