after being kind of unhappy with the way my last dentist worked..who I only saw once..

Now on my last visit which was about 8 months ago, I went in for a cleanup, and was told I had a small cavity. It was actually the first cavity I'd ever had in my whole life, and was pretty surprised since my daily teeth rituals hadn't really changed since I was a kid. But oh well, I made a new appointment for another day, came in, and had it filled.

Fast forward a year then to today, I go in to this new dentist, and I told him that the last time I went to a dentist I got a filling, but he tells me he sees no signs of a filling at all. He then goes through the whole clean-up procedure, and at the end he told me that I had to come back to get a filling for my cavity.

I don't remember which tooth it was that needed it last time, but there's a good chance it was the same one I was "diagnosed" with at my other dentist.

So another $130 will be plushed on Monday. Yay.

Yeah, I was rather naive to the whole ortho scene, until I went to a new dentist, and EVERYTHING was different......it'd be nice to have a family friend or friend be your doctor, assuming you trust his work. I can't ignore the fact that the dentist might want a new TV, so he'll say that my sister and I have 3 new cavities each.

oh, btw: DIAMOND MEMBER. yeah, just realized it. :)

Well there there could have been a filling in there and it either fell out or you swallowed it, had that happen to
me and not even relize it till I went into another dentist and he told me this, but by then it decayed from the inside
and ended up with a root canal.
