&lt;p&gt;I am fortunate enough to have health insurance, but I do not have dental insurance.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I do get my teeth cleaned twice a year at the LOW LOW price of $25.&amp;nbsp; This includes a thorough exam, x-rays and cleaning.&amp;nbsp; You are probably wondering, where in the heck is the office that I go to for this inexpensive treatment.&amp;nbsp;... I have been going to Oakland Community College&amp;#39; Dental Hygiene Clinic for the past 5 years.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The clinic is&amp;nbsp;at the Highland Campus in Waterford.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You do need to call ahead so that you can get an appointment.&amp;nbsp; Also, since it is a teaching college, your appointment may take a little longer, but I am telling you, your exam will be thorough!&amp;nbsp; A dentist and certified dental hygiene instructor, both review any work done on you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The current fee schedule is:&amp;nbsp; Adult $25/Senior (over 55) $15/Child $15 (14 years and younger).&amp;nbsp; The pricing is cheaper than going out to dinner.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For additonal information, call 248.942.3260 or go the OCC web site&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://www.occ.edu"&gt;www.occ.edu&lt;/a&gt; and click on Dental Clinic.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;For additional community information, click on my web site.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.MarvelousMary.com"&gt;www.MarvelousMary.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Professionally Bringing Sellers &amp;amp; Buyers Together&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    </content>
