This happens in the UK as NHS dentists get paid based on work done. My old one before I moved was great, regular checkups and no issues. Moved house and my new dentist 'found' 4 caveties that all needed fixing, one of which was 'critial'.
Me being stupid agreed to have the main one done, which they botched and it turned into a root canal. Swapped dentists after that and went private and magically I have no cavities and they couldn't understand why I'd had a root canal.
Fuck dentists.
- scarygliders 4y agoMy local NHS dentist told me four of my bottom front row teeth were "dead" and needed lots of treatment involving needles and drills and such, otherwise they'd start rotting away and get painful and so on... Oh and that I need a root canal in one molar... Which I thought was strange at the time because I could still feel sensation in them, feel blood supply pumping into them, felt no pain. At the time though I had great trust in dentists so I agreed to the treatment, and an appointment was set for the procedure. On the day I was sat in the dentist chair and whilst they were setting up, I had this instinctual feeling that this whole thing was "wrong!" and before they could even administer the first numbing jab I called the whole thing off. A few years later and I've had no problems with those teeth, or any others for that matter.
