The dentist

I went to the dentist for a cleaning. The dental hygenist did most the work, I saw the actual dentist for maybe 3 minutes. The bill $220!

	The dental hygeinist, or do you mean the 'assistant' did the work? I think maybe you might mean the latter..

	oh yeah, they did take some x-rays so that probably was a good chunk of the bill.

	el_tino said: Nope. Don't have dental insurance. Sheesh. That's harsh. Considering the cost of one dental trip, my dental ins. is well worth it. It's not necessary to have x-rays every time you go in unless you wait a year between visits. You probably already know that, but some dental offices will take you for whatever they can get.
