I had a dentist who gave me four “preventative fillings” when I was 12. He told my mother I had no cavities. This was right before a temporary company closing where my dad was working. My mother looked at me and was so mad. This was decades ago. They had to ask my grandparents for the money, it was so tight a time.
I have never had a cavity, but one of those teeth recently gave out and I got my first crown.
I have wanted to find that original idiot and give him a piece of my mind, for this whole time.
Back in the 60’s went to a dentist who would partially drill out cavities and then fill the tooth so that it would need redrilling & refilling again in the future. Also insurance scam. Hard to believe he would do this to children...well to anyone.
