Some dentists are the worst - they're no better than used car salesmen, and sometimes they are worse than that. Just shady and questionable businesses that try to extract the most money possible from you, and in some cases they will lie to do it. I moved cities a few years ago, about an hour south of where I used to live, and I changed my doctor, my mechanic, but I kept my dentist even though it's a 1.5 hour drive in rush hour traffic. It's worth it. There's plenty of dentists around my new house, and I tried one of them and it was awful. I went back to my beloved dentist in the old city and I'll never look for another one. They don't ever try to recommend work I don't need, they find and fix real problems not made-up problems, and the prices are very reasonable. Once you find a good dentist, keep them forever if you can. It's too bad your old dentist sold the business, that would be devastating for me.
