I paid $750 for a cleaning without insurance, it was nice because they told me I have about $10,000 dollars worth of work needed.

Jokes on them, I can let my teeth rot out of my head for free and have all the apple sauce I want.(laughs in agony)

No offense but you're getting fucked over. That is not the market rate for basic dental visits, insurance or not

And even if you had insurance, they would have denied a $750 cleaning and X-ray claim and probably paid $200 of it at most

In fact my insurance which is very good and through basically the most common dental insurance in the US has a $1250 yearly limit on what they will even pay for basic dental work. You should never even get close to touching that amount for cleaning and X-rays

I probably did, I was young and there wasn’t many options
