Thank you so much for your input. We look forward to explaining in detail the benefits of the laser treatment. This optional procedure reduces the amount of bacteria that enters your blood stream after having your teeth cleaned. This is especially important because of our desire to prevent any medical complications (such as infection of the heart or artificial joints). Also, the $50 fee you are referring to is accepted by the ADA for a doctor to examine your teeth, read x-rays, and check your gums just as you would at your medical examination. Thank you for posting your concerns!
