My teeth are very good so I have cleanings less than once per year. I had been with Dr. Bob Rader in the same office with Dr. Castor until Dr. Rader retired. It is the same receptionist and office and technician for teeth cleaning and x-rays. I do not have any dental insurance or dental plan, so prices seemed expensive but are probably just standard. About $100 for exam and cleaning. Another $50 or so for x-rays too. I successfully refused x-rays sometimes. The teeth cleaning did not seem very stressful. I noticed that no comment was made to me about the visible pit growing slowly larger year by year on a back molar. I suppose that means there was nothing to do about it. The tooth developed a crack. The edge of the tooth at the pit finally chipped off. I am going to look for a new dentist closer to my home and may not go back to Dr. Castor.
