Reply #5: Something strange happened to me...

[CoffeeCat]

I took my kids to a dentist in town who seemed very nice, but they treated me like a defective
because I wanted to be in the room with my kids when they got their cleanings, etc.

It turned out that this dentist saw 3 cavities in my 5 year old and 2 in my 6 year old. Both had them filled.

We went back 6 months later, and again--I was made to feel strange for wanting to accompany my small children.

The dentist told us that our youngest had another problem tooth and that her cavity would need to be filled.

On the way out of the dentist, I just felt that something was off. Call it a gut feeling.

We switched dentists. Turns out, there was NOTHING wrong with my youngest's teeth--that the initial dentist
insisted was a "problem."

Now, I'm seriously wondering about all of the previous cavities that they had filled.

This was a very young, recently graduated female dentist who had her own practice. I'm thinking that a lot
of these dentists have some serious student loans and other overhead--so possibly they invent problems
where none exist. Sickening.
