I think lots of dentists have a hidden agenda - to do a marginal job so customers have to go back again and again. In some situations, filling problem turns into root canal case etc so they get more money/work.
I'm not saying all dentists are bad but I'm really losing faith.
I had 5 filling done last year with composite at a local dentist chain. One year later all fillings have either fallen, dislodged, or chipped which has been causing me uneasiness and pain. I went back to another dentist working for the chain a week ago cos friend of mine said he was good.
He took out the dislodged filling and filled the tooth. It has been very sensitive to cold stuff, even tap water. It's also quite sore to chew on. I was waken up by it the second night after so I went back to him but he said it was common after filling and basically told me to "toughen up".
I also got very sensitive/painful gum once in a while after eating which is so irritating.
Could someone explain? Thank you
