Finding an honest dentist is quite difficult nowadays, but I will help you out by telling you that Dr. Sid Solomon is NOT one of them.
I normally go to a family friend, but because I recently changed insurances, I had to find a new dentist. I went to Dr. Solomon for a routine exam/cleaning. I was told that I also needed an antibiotic oral irrigation to cleanse my gums. I agreed to it because I trusted the opinion of not only one doctor (Dr. Solomon), but also the receptionist who holds a dental degree. However after I left, I asked my boss (who is a dentist at UCLA), another co-worker who is dentist at UCLA, and my uncle who is a practicing general dentist about the procedure, and they unfortunately all agreed that this was an UNNECESSARY procedure. Using an antibiotic irrigation is generally a procedure used after a deep cleaning (also called root planning and scaling) to prevent infection of the gums. Sadly, I neither got a deep cleaning nor do I have any gums problems; I floss every day and my gums do not bleed easily. I paid $125 for a procedure that I didn’t need because I mistakenly trusted the opinion of Dr. Solomon.
