My first memory of going to a dentist was the school dentist (in the Netherlands); they said I had a cavity. I was small so I started shouting (when a needle came out) that I wanted my mother; she came and told them to keep their hands off of me. Our family dentist (an uncle) said I have no cavities and don't go to other dentists if I value my teeth. 43 years later I have 0 cavities while dentists in several countries and locations told me I have. I always get at least 2 opinions since that first experience. Luckily I had a total of 3 dentists in my family but they are retired now. Think a good one (multiple people said it) is getting a cleaning; they will see if there are cavities but have no financial incentive to make them up and start drilling.
