You can control perio by flossing. Also, did you know that antiseptic
mouthwash such as Listerine and similar house brands kill bacteria in your
mouth and also help to control this.

It's also true that dentists may not be entirely motivated to keep your
mouth healthy, because more damage means more services they can perform.
Also, you get the best value and the most honest service at a dental school.
A dental student gets a good grade when recommending only the services you
need. A private dentist is motivated to sell you as much services as you can
pay for.

There is some cheap Mexican tequila-substitute (as far as I can tell that's what
it is) that costs less than Listerine and tastes better. Almost the same
alcohol content and it comes in a plastic container with a ring on top so you
can carry it on your belt. "Licor Costeño Tonaya Supremo"

OTOH, the little Mexican town of Algodones, just southwest of Yuma, exists to
service the dental needs of people all over the US. No crowds in summer.
Cheap, fast, and as good as anything you get in the US.
