I haven't been to the dentist in a while. (No insurance but I have insurance now so I'm getting it taken care of) So I finally make an appointment since my left lower wisdom tooth was giving me some trouble. I get there and they tell me I need a deep cleaning because a regular cleaning wouldn't do anything for me. Fine, insurance covers that (although they tried to jerk me out of 200 bucks for it) Then she tells me I need the wisdom tooth out which I knew already. And she also said I have cavities on the sides of 4 teeth (from tartar and lack of flossing)
Now the dental assistant did all of this. My x-rays, deep cleaning, talked to me about the cavities/discoloration, flossing all of that. I thought she was the dentist!!! Then the dentist walks in this drop dead gorgeous woman with no dr. coat, surgical mask or anything. She sat down and repeated everything the dental assistant told me and proceeded to tell me that she realizes now (after pressuring the dental assistant to pressure me for 200 bucks) that I am fully covered for my procedure today. Then she say "that tooth has to come out...oops they should all really come out" I said "they should" she simply said "yes..." no explanantion no nothing. And walked out. When the dental assistant started to clean my teeth I saw the "dentist" grab her hand bag and haul ass out of there laughing on her cell phone" Those teeth don't even bother me. They are just sitting there and are actually healthier than a few of the others with trouble tartar (according to the dental assistant) Smoke signals immediately went off and I wondered what else she could be lying to me about. Listening to these people I have to go back 3 more times 1. to get the other half of my deep cleaing 2. to the tooth/teeth pulled 3. to fill my cavities (and take out a filling that i had before that is fine but rumor has it she only uses white fillings so that might be why she wants that one out)
I feel like this is too many trips. They keep telling me I need the extraction before the filling. Why? I would go to another dentist but then they'd have to do x-rays and stuff all over again and that would max out my insurance. What to do what to do? Should I just stick it out with this woman?
Oh one other thing...when she looked at my hurting tooth she was like"oh my goodness honey how are you not screaming in pain. I would be screaminig in pain" like she's never seen a dental problem before. Something is fishy...and Mar C I can do without all the smarty pants attitude. I asked the question for a reason, if you don't have ananswer that's fine but no need to be an ass. I'm happy you earned your 2 points!
