Need a good dentist in Meredith area

Just a warning for one of the mentioned dentists in Meredith.

Since I travel a bit - I have more then one dentist.

I was a regular customer to one of the dentists in Meredith mentioned above.
Routine cleanings.

No issues. Until the last time I went in for a cleaning. The Meredith dentist stated I needed deep gum cleaning or whatever it is called. An expensive treatment usually done on multiple visits.

But, I just had this done 2 years earlier by a different dentist.

So . . . two years later I needed this again? I went to another dentist for a measurement and 2nd opinion. Not needed.

OK. So now we have two dentists with two differing opinions.

I went to a 3rd dentist - again, I travel some. Again, measurements and diagnosis. Not needed.

So why does this Meredith dentist state I need this expensive treatment?
Money, that is it. A money maker. Treatments that are not needed. Treatments that my do no harm but just not needed.

That was 6 years ago. I visit a dentist twice a year - and each time they measure the gums/teeth. I do not need this expensive treatment. I do not go to this dentist in Meredith anymore.

So what does this say about the monetary ethics of this dentist in Meredith?
