Yes, I'm having the same problem with my dentist. He practices in a very expensive area, and we had to borrow thousands of dollars in addition to using our saving to have him remove my amalgams. I asked all the right questions about the removal and felt that he was the right one. Couldn't believe it when we were beginning the removal that he only had swinging doors, not even floor to ceiling doors. In the room right next to mine two children were having their teeth worked on. Here he and his assistant were wearing protective gear, I had on goggles, a charcoal filtered suction, and there was an air filter in my room. Yet, there was no protection for the other staff or the other patients. The rubber dam broke while they were working on my teeth. The temporary fillings fell out in a week and I swallowed them.

The other thing that I noticed is that he's very moody. I think he probably has been poisoned by the fillings he removes. While I appreciate the sacrifice that he makes in removing the fillings, I don't appreciate his moodiness. Very frustrating.
If I hadn't paid him up front, I would be looking for another biological dentist to finish the work. It's so downheartening to give someone thousands of dollars and have them be so cavalier about the whole thing. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
