I had a very similar experience with a new dentist this week and the front desk was very pushy with getting me to schedule an appointment for a routine cleaning. I'm still mad at myself for acquiescing but they were determined to steamroll right over all of my attempts to politely demur. I don't intend to return to the practice but I am absolutely dreading the phone call to cancel the appointment because I know I'm in for even more of their aggressive "encouragement" to change my mind.
