I went to Dr. Sundahl to get my teeth cleaned twice a year for many years until I moved. She was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Her office was bright, tasteful and clean, with an exceptionally nice receptionist, who'd remember me.
My appt. would start on time and last about a half hour. She'd first see if I had any concerns, then she'd inspect my teeth while her assistant would look over my records and call out any problem areas. She would also check my gums, tongue and mouth before cleaning/polishing my teeth.
She'd use metal dental picks to clean my teeth. Although she was gentle and fast, nothing inspired me to floss like the feel of those picks scraping at tartar. She never scolded.
Teeth cleanings cost around $100. First they would bill my insurance. If insurance didn't pay, then they would bill me. I'd pay by check (I don't think they took credit cards). No problems.
I never had fillings done. In the last several yrs I didn't have any xrays done (not Sundahl's fault). A year after I moved, I went to a dentist who xrayed my teeth and found a cavity betw. 2 molars (I'd been too busy to floss much for a long time). The cavity wasn't visible w/out xrays. He didn't discover any other problems with my teeth/gums.
