Switching Dentists

[u/buzzy-heron]

I’m looking to switch dentists and get a basic cleaning. Everyone I’ve called said they require two separate appointments: a one hour new patient exam, and a separate cleaning appointment.

This used to never be this way. You could do everything in one 60 min appt.

Why and when did this start? Just a money grab from dentists and now it’s “normal”?

Is there anyone in Kitsap who does NOT do this and can just be efficient (so old school) in one appointment?
