Okay so this may be long, but I need outside input and those closest to me are over it.
After 6 years clean I have finally saved enough money to get my teeth in order. I had one wisdom tooth left, broken horizontal partially impacted, so I couldn't wait any longer. My MIL had implants at a certain place and referred me. From the beginning the dentist I was "assigned" to had what I would like to call a bad bedside manner. I should have listened to my gut, but I assumed it was my anxiety. He was not the surgeon removing my wisdom tooth and two molars. First visit after consult, I had 4 fillings. All of them were so right between my teeth I was unable to properly floss. Second visit had teeth cleaned and she was able to fix some of the flossing issues. Third visit 2 more fillings and ground down crown. They took molds and sent me on my way. 2 days late one filling fell out. Not eating. Not doing anything. The whole thing fell out. I called and they didn't seem very concerned and I assumed that they would fill it before the extraction. They didn't. So at this point 6 fillings and only one is not causing me paid or issues. Teeth were pulled and that in and of itself was the most tramatic experience. I was wide awake and aware the whole time. Meds didn't take effect till being stitched. Here's the thing tho. No after care instructions AT ALL. I went back to get stitches removed and she said I was healing slow but didn't tell me what to do or why. Also didn't fix fill once again and crown was defective. At this point I have spent thousands and have to wait a few more weeks to start the whole crown procedure over and have filling replace. And what point is it okay to say enough. I wanted to give them the chance to make me happy, but I don't think they can. My anxiety about going back is through the roof and I just don't know if I can allow them to touch me again. I feel like I have paid all this money to be butchered. Plus they don't offer nitrous so no relief or relaxation. Tell me I'm not crazy please. MIL says I am too picky and it's me. I think they are crap.... Just needed to vent I guess. This whole experience has me very jaded and overwhelmed.
