I don't know Bann, I don't really feel as though I were too witty or clever for them. Really the situation, i don't know whether to laugh or cry. their behavior is destable, ridiculous, yeah even funny when you tell it as a story but that dentist really did damage my teeth good. I guess it would be funny if it weren't true but it is true and what it's cost me surely isn't funny. That is only part of the story it gets worse. There was one more visit a couple years later that i really do not want to even discuss. not at the moment anyway.

I think my biggest problem is that I really did have a dentist in our old town that I really loved and I expected the same kind of quality care and treatment from this bunch here. And when they started doing the damage i was kind of really, very really, well couldn't believe it myself even though all I had to do was stand in front of the mirror and look. I would do that i would go into the bathroom and look at my teeth and say, no, no way, they really didn't do that, they wouldn't.. no... it took me a few months to come to terms with it because damage to your teeth lasts a lifetime.

But they did do it.

the big problem around here is not that there are not any dentists bit that the dentists need steady clients I guess and so they do whatever it takes to make sure they get some. You really do have to be stupid to keep going back to a dentist like that though, and most people are not completely stupid. They are afraid to go to the dentist for very good reasons. So the dentists really are just hurting themselves. good dentists don't need to make steady clients the hard way, people go back because it was a good experience when they find a good dentist, not to just complain all the time.

Even though I have spent thousands of dollars on dentists here the past 5 years or so I actually feel as though my teeth have not had a real checkup in 8 years. These dentists here, they do not do any work like most people expect. they look, they say ah, they poke around they might do some damage but I have yet to get a cavity filled and I do have a couple it is a very very strange situation.

Even me by now, I am afraid to go and I was never like that before.

I am going to start handing out dental board complaint forms to anyone I talk to that has had a bad experience with a dentist here. I will evn give them the stamp and envelope to mail it. I will help them fill it out if they need help.

the situation here is pitiful. the dentists are more likely to rob you than help you. i've never seen anything like it in all my 28+ years as an adult. My dentist as a kid probably compared to this bunch though. a lot of medicaid fraud with dentists around here too.
