In case y'all wonder why I don't switch to a dentist who takes my insurance...
My dentist won't stick a tool in my mouth unless I come in already tranquilized. He allows me to pay out of pocket and is the only dentist in 3 counties who will do so under ANY circumstances. And when he is working on me, he leaves the nitrous on the entire time, which is part of how I kept still last month when he was repairing a broken uncrowned root canal-ed tooth and the crown, tooth, and post next to it straight popped right out of my damn jawbone. This level of emergency is not new to me, which is why an understanding dentist is so crucial.
And if you're wondering about "shoddy" work, the other 2 crowned root canals he's done are perfectly stable. Never in 8 years of working with the same dentist have we had these problems!
