so i have always loved getting my teeth clean...honestly. after 10+ years of dental work to get my teeth looking the way they do, i have never wanted to even for one second risk losing my smile and therefore try to take impeccable care of my teeth (ok i should floss a little more, but other than that, impeccable).
matt and i both grew up using the same dentist our entire lives, and since we've been in LA we've had nothing but dentist drama. the first place we went was more like a factory...where no one works at the same time...i had to make 3 separate appointments to get xrays, get a cleaning and then talk to the dentist. who has that kind of time?
and then we switched to our current one...who has been ok for the most part except that you can never get in in the 6 month requirement. i end up going about 8 months between cleanings (frustration point 1)...
and now for frustration point 2...i have 7 cavities?? i've never had a cavity in my life until last year and now you are telling me i have 7? 2 on teeth that you "supposedly" already filled last year...WHAT THE HECK?? i'm so confused. and how does the dentist saying "we are going to watch these 2" translate into 5 cavities when it's time to leave and make the next appointment. not to mention that each cavity costs me $98 because i only have the option of getting the white filling that insurance does not cover...frustrations 3, 4, and 5....
i'm getting a second opinion.

please do...
tim and I are currently dentistless...
but we need to head in... we're going to try John Law...in arcadia... he's in Tim's parents business building and Steve, tim's older brother LOVED him... and steve has REALLY REALLY bad teeth
it took me trying a few dentists before I finally settled in. I'm telling you, there is nothing better than a good dentist!
well if you don't stop these everyday sugar binges eventually your teeth will just fall out. j/k seriously though, that's frustrating I'd get a second opinion.
i'll remember that Krystin, thank you. :)
who is your dentist? do you see Nat's old dentist? That's where Charlie and I go. Mak & Kleiger, they have been good to us so far. we didn't like the first people to do our cleaning and we told them so the ones they gave us after have been great. we make sure to schedule our cleaning with the same person now.
