Dental dreams was more like a dental nightmare! Went in at the beginning of the month, first time ever being here. Thought it was great that they could get me in so soon, and even though my appointment was scheduled for 3:00 they said I could come in early so I did! I went in for a 13 year old metal filling that had partially fallen out. At first the dentist (I don’t remember his name) came in and did the quickest cleaning I’ve ever had done in my life. Smeared the cleaner on my teeth with his fingers and was done in 2 minutes if that. He checked my teeth and told me I had 3 other cavities that needed to be filled, ok whatever. Then tells me how he’s tight on time and doesn’t really have time till later to fix my filling but was like well let me try and squeeze you in between patients. He did just that going back and forth from me and another patient. So I’m not sure why they told me to come in early knowing I was coming in to have a filling fixed.I was completely numb didn’t feel a thing it was over pretty quickly so I thought great. The next day when I tried to eat and floss my teeth I was feeling major nerve pain where the new filling was. I called they booked me to come in 2 days later, so I did. Come to find out he did not put enough filling in and that was the problem. So he attempted to numb my mouth again to fix the problem, but it didn’t work. So he added more and said I’ll be back in 5 minutes. He was back in 2 minutes and I told him that it still hadn’t kicked in yet. He said ok well I’m going to try to get in there quickly and fix just the area that needs more filling. I could feel EVERYTHING!! He knew that and said if you need me to stop just raise you’re left hand. As I’m groaning in pain I finally raise my left hand to let him know I need a break and he says I know I know I see ya, but still continued to drill away. So I said screw it I'm going to let him finish that way I can just be done with this. He finished, I still wasn’t numb so when he stuck the floss between my teeth I no longer felt the nerve pain, I figured great it’s all set. Was completely numb after leaving though! Within 2 days the nerve pain was back!!! I can’t chew anything at all on that side and it is now sensitive to hot and cold temps. I have decided to go elsewhere and cancel the other appointment for the “3 other cavities” because no way am I going back a 3rd time. I am also 34 weeks pregnant and can’t keep going in to have work done and waiting 4 hours after each appointment to try to eat. My suggestion is the dentist (younger white man) should probably take his time and not rush through everything!
