Is this a thing? Every dentist I've ever been to has insisted on a cleaning before addressing cavities.

Is it some unwritten rule that a dentist can't address a problem without a cleaning?

Usually I have a cleaning appointment and they spot a cavity and make an appointment for that a couple weeks later.

they dont clean again two weeks later.

Yeah theyre trying to get PAID

Denists get to charge whatever the hell they want. Boats and hoes dont pay for themselves.

When they open back up I'm going to make a call and see if I can get any local dentists to do work without a cleaning and see what happens. Usually in my experience the assistants do the cleaning and the dentist runs a pick through my teeth after to find cavities anyways.

Dentists know more than you. That's why they're dentists. If they say you need it, best to stop fussing over it.

please dont ever go to a dentist/doctor with this mentality. you should question everything, and with big decisions (and no, teeth cleaning isn't one...) you need to get extra opinions.

Yeah, my current dentist wants a cleaning every six months which seems excessive.

I had a period with no coverage for about a decade and ended up getting two cavities filled but I could feel those and easily point to the problem areas.

Pro tip: Get a good dentist and you won't have to be 10x paranoid about everything.

that's not really much of a pro tip... maybe they're good at lying to you, or pushing you towards unnecessary work?

This, a lot of dentists will run you dry if you let them.
