Is this a serious post? Pay $27 for a 3 hour cleaning and come back another 3-5 times?

yeah. for a cleaning at harvard dental school it is like 5 visits and 2-4 hours per visit, which takes about a month. it's a ridiculous waste of time, but it's cheap, so for the cash poor but time rich, it works out.

i made the mistake of going there once as a med student years ago.

Yes, In dental hygiene school we are required to meet requirements in order to graduate and thorough oral cancer screenings, every visit we do something different in the oral care process, I offer it free for my patients, but my school requires we say $27 in our post due to other student's needing patients that are not offering to pay for patients to sit for them. ( The 3 hours are not just for cleaning alone it involves other steps as I mentioned)

I see, I guess I was more surprised by the 3 hour thing, don’t think I’ve ever had a cleaning longer than maybe an hour
