WHY, because she thought I didnt floss, so what be mean? then the last time I went, from the time I parked my car until I signed in, paid my copay, got cleaned, was back out in my car was 22 minutes. Like I think she did a good job? NOT, how can you do all that, even get flossed, read one page of my book, get called back, walk back, get seated, check my chart and all that other stuff in 22 minutes? I hate them! IF I have to go, I want it done right and softly. we are paying for it right!

Once I was told I had 2 cavities. One hurt, so I wasn't surprised, but the other one - they barely even poked at it. I asked them to show me again and I could feel them poke a different place. I opted not to have that one filled. 6 months later at the check up, they didnt read my chart closely and I didn't have that cavity anymore. As far as I know teeth cavities don't fill themselves with more healthy teeth. LIARS! Plus we think they do too many X-rays. So, we are only going to do X-rays once every 2 years unless we are having a problem now. Our insurance doesn't cover the x-rays totally anyway. I mean, if you have sore bones you have to practically BEG for an orthopedic x-ray, but the dentist wants to x-ray every time they see you. IT'S A CONSPIRACY I TELL YOU!<BR/>I am not a paranoid person, by the way.<BR/>KEEP BELIEVINGAngie @ KEEP BELIEVINGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00930977696454848345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-53412749341188832852008-02-27T14:26:00.000-05:002008-02-27T14:26:00.000-05:00I think you should also get a sucker.I think you should also get a sucker.Mrs. G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01171997573144385692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-4100832645983285322008-02-27T14:21:00.000-05:002008-02-27T14:21:00.000-05:00i absolutely, 100 percent HATE the dentist. and t...i absolutely, 100 percent HATE the dentist. and the x-ray thing. i had to have a cavity filled a couple of weeks ago. i got the happy gas. i asked if i could stay all day.slow panichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00806001325853693285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-182539644236982042008-02-27T13:24:00.000-05:002008-02-27T13:24:00.000-05:00I actually like getting my teeth cleaned.
