Please do let me know how it goes )

I had the same with the last dentist I saw. He saw my mouth as a money bag. He had no interest in "me". It was very disheartening. Luckily, my previous dentist (but one who uses mercury) was a lovely man, hence why I stuck with him for 7 years. He did white fillings for me when I asked and was always helpful. I'm hoping the dentist I've chosen will be as friendly because Russ is right we "are" paying them, and quite a lot too, so they should be polite etc. The guy that I saw about replacing the fillings was so arrogant that his attuitude was like I had no choice but to choose him - well, I'm sorry, but there are other dentists! So, in that way, we "are" in control because we don't have to go to them, and if they don't treat us as people, then they'll ultimately lose out.
