My old dentist retired. Never a problem with his work for 20 years.

I have been seeing a new dentist the past 5 years. The very first
tooth he filled, a chunk of molar fell out of my mouth as I was
walking to my car. Oh well, stuff happens.

His amalgam work feels very rough, and my tongue rejects it. I nearly
gag when I run my tongue over his fillings. In my experience, a cusp
should not be convex, but concave with a shallow V shape.

He did an endo on a molar, and it bothered me from day 1. The
hygienist looked at the X-Ray, and found that he completely missed a
root. He wanted me to go to a specialist many miles away. (My new-new
dentist fixed it in 30 minutes; end of problem.)

He did an endo on another molar, and my gums adjacent to it had a sore
spot on the bucchal side from day 1. I kept telling him about it, but
he could find nothing wrong. My newest dentist found out that he
apparently over-torqued the plug, and split  the root.

He did an amalgam filling between 2 molars, and it gave me problems
from day 1.  I complained about my floss hanging up, and having a
"taste" on my floss. He said it was just fine. My newest dentist
immediately discovered that the filling was not completely covering
the cavity.

He replaced a 25 year old bridge when 1 supporting tooth finally gave
out. He posted my perfectly good canine for the bridge. The canine has
been hurting from day 1. He says it will get better, but it's been 2
years. Just pack it with Sensodyne, he said. To make things worse, my
canine crown does not even remotely resemble the other canine.

So I changed dentists. My newest and current dentist understandably
gave him the benefit of the doubt at first. However,  the more he saw,
the more appalled he became. Every single tooth he worked on will need
re-working, on my nickel of course.

My newest dentist had to grind and grind to adjust my bite. My other
dentist, instead of reading the marking tape, asked me how my bite
felt. That's very hard to do when your mouth is numb.

My newest dentist also found a cracked molar that's in serious
jeopardy. He said the crack was possibly caused by an improper bite.

My dentist was a very nice man, and I think he really cares about his
patients. We broke off amicably, and I have yet to tell him why I
left. I really don't think he sees very well. His glasses are very
thick. Here I am, still making excuses for him.
