> Do you never go to a dentist because you can never be sure they're fixing your teeth? You don't know if they're superficially treating your teeth just enough to warrant another visit instead of "fixing" them once and for all. Shady dentists performing unnecessary procedures so they can rip off their patients is a rare but serious problem. Do go to a dentist when you have a clear problem you know about, and do go to the dentist from time to time for routine checkups / cleanings, but be careful about choosing a dentist and skeptical when a new dentist suggests your apparently healthy teeth actually need extensive work.
