I used to be quite apprehensive about getting dental procedures up until 25 years ago when a friend of mine sugested the combination of Nitros Oxide and a local for any pain. For me the nitros was a magic bullet. From that time on I experience very little fear receiving any dental procedure. I consider myself the perfect patient.
It should be noted that I have had dental surgery two times, several implants and numerous root canals.
Today I had two small cavies taken care of and my dentist charged and extra 100.00/hour for the use of the nitros, and my insurance does not cover this cost. I have never been charged for this in the past.
The front desk person told me that this is a new policy, and is common today? It has been almost two years since I last required any procedure where I needed the nitros. It really came a shock to me.
Should I be looking for a new dentist. Not that it should matter but in the last 4 years my out of pocket dental bills were in excess of 16,000. Like I said, I'm a good patient.
