 This person, I swear! I'm sorry for the distress he's caused you and I'm happy to hear you've improved and are now negative!

It sounds like a nightmare and unfortunately, all 5 of you will most likely question other dentists' work ethic. But then again, I wonder how he got away with it in the first place. Like, aren't doctors/dentists supposed to be monitored closely about what they're doing and the tools they're using. Ugh. So frustrating! 

I mean I developed jaundice because I had no idea of hepatitis B symptoms, and in the middle of an epidemic, I had to be hospitalized, can you imagine the risk? Also, 10 days of constant IV flow into my body so my bile could get normalized. This ******* took good 3-4 months of my life away because he wanted to save some money I have no idea how he got away with it tbfh, I guess he developed his business so well nobody even questioned him anymore  And I will definitely question every single dentist's work ethic honestly, I don't trust them anymore, but I still have to go obviously. From my end, I will do my best to nurture my teeth so I'll never have cavities of any sort. I'll just go for regular check ups and clean ups every 6 months, hopefully that will save me all the trouble

My dentist was trying to be funny for playing that CUPCAKKE song... “mouth wide open, mouth wide open... song”

I haven't really had any problems that are like THAT bad, all I remember is as a kid my mom once took me to the dentist for a problem I had with one tooth, then while the doctor was examining, he saw another tooth and said "oh, this one is loose too" and took some pincers and just pull it off, and I was like  because I hadn't even felt that that tooth was loose before, and I just didn't stop bleeding for the rest of the day

 

Then many years later, I got my wisdom teeth removed, they were already out, but they removed them to put me braces, so the doctor put the anesthesia and was like, I'll be back with you in a minute, and he went to check other patient, and he literally just left me there for more than half an hour, and when he finally entered my room again to start working, the anesthesia effect was already starting to fade out, and I was like "STOP! " because I was starting to feel everything he was doing. And he was so obnoxious, he was like "don't be so tense" but he was literally pushing my head away from my body, I obviously needed to put some resistance, it was just awful experience overall. And I wouldn't stop bleeding for the rest of the day either. I hate blood taste so much

Once I had a sore throat, I went to sleep and my nose started to bleeding inside and I felt taste of blood in my sore throat  

Interesting experience not gonna lie

As a child, I was afraid of dentists, but this phobia has passed over the years. I had braces installed in the seventh grade, so I often visited the dentist. In the summer, my parents did not have the opportunity to take me to a specialist, to whom we constantly turned, so I went to one of the nearest from home.  It was the worst session at the dentist. Before examining her teeth, the woman did not pin up her hair. She stretched my cheeks a lot, and her tools kept slipping off. As a result, she even dropped one of the braces and put it in place after alcohol treatment.  After this incident, I only go to https://jeffreygrossdds.com/.

Root canal traumatized me. I had dentist related nightmares for 2 years. A bunch of stuff went wrong and I ended up having 13 dentist appointments in 1 year because of 1 tooth.

Last year in April (keep in mind, April 2021), a private dentist told me I have cavities in my front teeth and all my fillers are outdated. Also, she suggested I take out my front teeth (because I had root canal few years prior) and to have a crown.

 

I thought to myself- Jesus mate, I am def. too young to have crowns and half of my teeth ******* taken out. I never went to that second appointment but went to another private doctor. Guess what? I had no cavities and even though my fillers were old, they were just fine. I had no work done, I only go to check ups every 6 months. I wear my retainer regularly and I have nooo clue how and why but that cavities still hasn't eaten away my front teeth huh.

 

Be aware of private dentists, they are rattle snakes. They have no problem taking all your teeth out if that means cash for them. Rats. Hate them and don't trust them.
