I've been to some awful, painful, overly-expensive dentists that acted more like car salesmen than dentists. I finally found an honest one that prioritizes my comfort and doesn't charge me an arm and a leg, and I've been a customer for over 20 years. I moved to a different city a few years ago, but I will still drive 1.5 hours in traffic to go see my dentist (I'll try to book outside of rush hour though). I did try one dentist close to my new house, and it was awful. It reinforced my confidence in my regular dentist. Never going to anyone else as long as I live. Once you find a good one, stay with them as long as you can. Not all dentists are the same, it's no joke, some are just there to rip you off.
