Another reason to be pissed off with dentists

Recommended Posts

Many years ago I had a dentist recommended to me by a friend. This dentist I was told was trustworthy.

So I went to him. He told me that my teeth were strong as hell and that it was very unlikely that I woul ever have a cavity. Sounded strange, but he tol me that if I ever have a dentist tell me I need a cavity filled to walk away an not go back. That they 'fill' cavities to make money even when it is not needed.

I was 19, today I am 40 and have still never had a cavity. BUT, I have had dentists tell me I have a cavity they *must* fill. I go to another dentist and they find zero cavities.

This same Dr pulled two wisdom teeth and and I was not put under and walked out in my own power with no recovery issues. I had ONE pulled years later and it was a miserable exp.

I I lived in Memphis still, I would STILL be using this guy.

Hi top,

What we dentists put up with on a daily basis.....



"I saw it on tv."

Almost as factual as the internet.

PS) As a youngster in the USAF, Uncle Sammie took one of my teeth. I will fight tooth and nail ( pun actually intended ) to never lose another one; hopefully. [fingers crossed icon ]
