Went to the same dentist for the first 30 years of my life. He retired 2 years ago and sold his practice to someone who was just starting her career. She was instantly like "oh we need to redo your fillings", I let her do 2, one of them became so painful I couldn't believe it but she wouldn't do anything about it, went to a different, more established dentist and he took an x-ray and was like "yeah she blew out this one and it's cutting into your gums". He redid her redo for me free of charge, x-rayed the rest of my teeth and said my remaining fillings were fine. I've been going to him for the last few years and he's great. I'm not implying that my other dentist was malicious or incompetent, but I never considered before that dentists might be out there messing peoples mouths up with no recourse.
