Ok here it goes. When it comes to my teeth, I have ALWAYS taken care of them. I brush and floss at the very least 3-4 times a day. I recently moved to Vegas, but before I did, I saw my old dentist. I had X-rays, exam and a cleaning. He gave me a clean bill of health.
6 months later I made an appointment with Dee for dentist. Again I had X-rays, exam and Cleaning. Dr. Dee came in and informed me that I had 4 cavities and I would need a replacement crown because the tooth underneath was completely rotten. At first I said ok, so I tried to make an appt to get work done. I was informed that I had to pay in full when I made appt.
So I said I would call. The more I thought about it, the more I felt this couldn't be right. I called my out of state Dr asking him to look at my X-rays of 6 months ago and asked him if it was possible for all of this could happen in 6 months. He did and called me back. He said to get a second opinion beforehand because he saw nothing in my X-rays.
I went to another dentist. I said nothing until after his exam. He saw 2 teeth he recommended to replace filling and showed me recent cracks in those teeth. I asked him about the tooth with crown. He said he saw absolutely NO DECAY. So, my advice to anyone? Which leads me to believe they were trying to make money, rather then giving me good dental care!Go to another dentist! If you choose to stay? At least get a second opinion! I will be reporting her to the American Dental Association!
