Here Here!! Ive been in dentistry for 15 yrs! Not a dentist but know enough. Definetly go to a school for starters just because its less expensive. If you go to a dentist whose offering some big special say $100.00 for all x-rays exam and cleaning, BULLSHIT! You'll get in there and end up not with the cleaning because they will find 20 grand worth of work that needs to be done, and tell you you need a deeper cleaning which STARTS at 125.00 per quad if not more. Stay away from those ads. Im not sure about the fees there, so call around and or ask around first. Word of mouth is the best advertising. In the meantime, pick up some Sensodyne toothpaste and brush twice daily. It will help cut down on some of the sensitivty.

Goodluck!
