I went to the dentist today. I didn't get a cleaning, but I was specifically getting the tooth section checked out that had been hurting me when I eat chewy foods. I could tell there was something wrong by running my tongue over the area between two teeth. It turned out that a filling of mine had degraded a bit and there was a small hole between two teeth. The dentist took out my smaller filling (both teeth surrounding the hole had fillings) and replaced it with a filling that filled the little hole. He also checked the rest of my teeth and they looked good! So I don't have to make any more appointments and the problem is solved. I was afraid my whole bank account would be emptied over this dentist appointment (I feared having a lot of cavities), but all of it cost me under $200! I'm very pleased about this all:-)
