I am beginning to hate my dentist. I feel like I am in a used car place when I go there. I have no allegiance to her, she took over the practice from the person I was seeing, although I had only been there about 4 years.
I have had very little dental work in my life. I go four times a year, as I do have periodontal concerns that I want to keep at bay. Both my parents had major gum surgery by the time they were my age. I have about 6-8 fillings. I had one "redone" with new materials 2 dentists ago, who also took over from another one that left for medical reasons. I liked her...
But both this new woman and the one before the one before just keep/kept harassing me to have all of my other fillings redone. I've done 2 or 3 more, but I really don't see the point. Nothing hurts. I go often enough that if an issue is developing, I will get it done. I have dental insurance, so it's not the money.
She kept doing the same to my DH, who has even less fillings than me. One turned out to be a bigger issue than she thought (again, he had no symptoms) and he had to go through 6 months of stuff, going to a specialists, etc. She is not an incompetent practitioner, but I want to be left alone.
