I went to Young Family Dental in Orem UT to get a check up and a cleaning. They proceeded to take x-rays. They told me I had the beginnings of ""periodontal disease"" and that I needed a ""deep cleaning"" which would cost $ 346 upfront. They claimed my insurance would only pay for a ""regular cleaning."" I asked if they could give me a ""regular"" cleaning and they refused saying a ""regular"" cleaning was only for a ""completely healthy mouth that had no issues whatsoever."" I also took my 2 year old in for her first dental exam and a cleaning. They quickly looked at her teeth saying everything was ok and they wouldn't even clean her teeth saying she ""probably wouldn't cooperate and sit still for a cleaning."" This is absolutely ridiculous! It's the worst experience I ever had at a dentist and now I need to find a dentist who is actually willing to clean my teeth. I take excellent care of my teeth and always have. I find it hard to even believe that I have the problems they claim I have. I asked if I could do a payment plan for their deep cleaning and I was told no. I mean what dentist refuses to do a payment plan?! I have never heard of this. I would NEVER recommend this dentist to anyone.
