Ha, similar experience here. I had a tooth issue right in the middle of covid lockdown that required an emergency root canal and a temporary crown. After I got that done, I had to have a permanent crown installed by a regular dentist and asked for a referral. The place I got referred to was okay, I guess, although I ended up having to pay several thousand out of pocket even with insurance. I went there 3 months later for a cleaning and checkup and they told me I have SEVEN cavities and by the way, we have an opening next week, it should only take a few hours. I was skeptical: I took fairly good care of my teeth and hadn't been eating sugar in any form for several years at that point. My previous dentist closed up shop around that time but was always impressed with how clean I kept my teeth. (He knew about the potential for the root canal on the one tooth, but we had agreed to put it off until it became a problem.) I hadn't had a cavity and ages and when I did, it was one or two every few years, not SEVEN all at once. I said I would get back to them about the appointment and got a second opinion. The other dentist said I had zero cavities. Good lord.
