I went to Aspen Dental today for a check up. I was told I needed a filling for a chipped tooth. The dentist then sent in the Hygienist and when she was finished she went and got the dentist. He told me that needed a dental scaling. I explained that my insurance would not pay for that. He just kept telling me that I really need this done and if I didn't get it done it would just cost me more in the long run. I said I still can't get it done because I can't afford it. He then sent me to the front desk with the manager to talk about what it would cost. The manager told me the cost for both the filling and scaling. When I said I could not afford that he said the same thing the dentist said that it would just cost me more in the long run. I then asked him how much it would just to fix the broken tooth and he said that they would not do the filling without doing scaling. I was very upset and got up and left. When I calmed down I called and talked to the manager and asked him why they refused to fill the broken tooth if I didn't get the scaling and he said that if the dentist filled the tooth without the scaling his licence would be in jeopardy.
