I've had a couple dentists try to shake me down. I had chosen a new dentist when I changed plans, so I called and scheduled a cleaning. They took some x-rays, and within minutes had drawn up a comprehensive "treatment plan" that just happened to exhaust my coverage within about 6 months. They wanted to replace all my old fillings with gold, and they even had me watch an infomercial on the benefits of gold fillings while I was waiting. What kiboshed it for me was that they refused to do the cleaning on that visit - they wanted me to make another visit to do the actual cleaning!
