Dentists??Have I been done?!
Question:
Dentists??Have I been done?
I had two fillings last night, but they don't match the diagram they gave me last time I went. The diagram labelled 2 'C's (composite fillings) on one upper back tooth. However, I had a filling in one tooth on each side (upper back).
Also, afterwards, the dentist said he had to drill so far down that he could see the nerve. He said he was surprised at this. He said if I had any pain in that tooth that I should return as a matter of emergency for him to remove the nerve.
Has he just drilled too far and is trying to cover his back?
He ALSO said, on my first visit, that it looks like I eat too much sugar. I don't. He changed his mind on my second visit to say that at some point in my life I have eaten too much sugar. Why the change of story?
He says I need three further fillings. I have a little sensitiviy in 2 of these teeth so I am inclined to believe him, but I'm not sure I want to go back there again!!
What if he's given me a filling in the wrong tooth?
Answers:
I would go and see a 2nd consultant.
