I hope she told the new insurance company about this. Insurance companies protect us from greed in the medical and dental industries. And then they add their own greed on top of it. But they are really the best protection against unnecessary procedures in a field that most of us cannot understand.

Have a similar story here. Went to a family friend who was a dentist, until he sold his practice. The new dentist wanted to do a $600 procedure every six months like clockwork. And I didn't have insurance at the time, so the charges really added up. I wised up after a couple times and switched to a new dentist who isn't in the "drill baby drill" contingent. My oral health has been just fine.
