Dentists

I'm always very suspicious about dentists. So when my dentist said I grinded my teeth and recommended a mouthguard four years ago, I ignored it. Then, a few months ago one of my teeth died because I ground it too much and had to get it extracted. sigh

I still don't trust them though

Bingo!!!! I had so many issues with dentist! When they say ohhh I think we should drill on your tooth before it becomes a problem. Has lead to me seeing the drill more times than I needed.

I call it drilling for gold!

Exactly. It took me a long time to see past that veneer of respectable competence

Yeah which has always gotten me to side with them. I would rationalize getting my mouth drilled on because I would say to myself they are the experts.

My dentist now wants to redo a crown because it might become a problem in the future. I told him I’ll think about it soon as I feel pain. Going on 3 years since he recommended this service and the tooth is doing just fine.
