I had the same experience. Every time I went to the dentist 3 cavities. Mu molars were all drilled and filled.
Went off to college and all that stopped. Have not had a cavity in 50 years. I have had some of those fillings I got when younger fail,but no new cavities. I do have one that has come out 3 times, and they are now recommending a root canal, but I am just keeping it clean and watching it (going on 5 years, now).
A bunch of drill happy hacks, I wish there was some recourse.
I ended up with a couple of abscesses, but as a result of the manner my teeth were straightened as a teenager. So all of of my teeth problems today are a consequence of care I received decades ago.
BTW don’t mess around with abscesses. They’ll put you in agony.
