Hariri Javid

I hate going to the dentist. Not because of the pain or the smell but because of the lectures. Well, I was long overdue for my annual check up and since my old dentist is not accepting my new insurance, I was forced to find a new one.
Dr. Hariris’s office is in Glen Burnie in between my job in Baltimore and my house in Glenn Dale, so the location was really convenient for me.
When I drove up to the office though, it looked so Glen Burnish that I almost turned around. But it is really nice inside so make sure you get pass the front door.
Everything is high-​tech, marble-​clad, all around nice.
One thing though, I asked for an «Annual Checkup» and told them I need cleaning as well. When the doctor was done (total time spent with me=10 mins), he’s like, «everything looks fine, make sure you make an appointment with the hygienist for a cleaning.» I’m like, «ummmm I thought I was getting a cleaning today,» Apparently, since it’s my first visit and they had no idea how long it would take to clean my teeth, they didn’t schedule me in and didn’t bother to tell me. I had to leave early from my job to get there and I REALLY didn’t appreciate their not telling me of this little fact in advance.
At the end though, the 6pm appointment cancelled and they were able to squeeze me in. The hygienist was super nice but gave me the «if you don’t floss, your gum will become this and that…» lecture but she was nice (as well as she can be) about it. She was way too rough with her cleaning but whatever. I don’t have to go back till June, 09. Yippee~~
Oh, another thing. They charged me $ 21 for Fluoride rinse which consisted of swishing 1oz of fluoride rinse in my mouth for a minute and their timing me. The insurance didn’t pay for it and for that money, I’d rather get a prescription from them and get a WHOLE bottle of the rinse for $ 5 copay.
