Seriously. My family has been to 4 dentists in 5 years. Each has consistently tried to upsell services such as whitening, orthodontics (wife had braces and has damn near perfect teeth), power toothbrushes, etc. There's been several cases of one dentist claiming that work was crucial and HAD to be done, but the new dentist didn't notice a thing. Case in point, a prior dentist decided that my wife and I both needed two teeth capped. We each had one done then decided to go elsewhere. We been through two dentists since, with no mention of the need for a second cap. Now I'm out over $600 for my son, as the current dentist had to repair 6 cavities that were repaired incorrectly by the prior dentist. Because it's been less than 24 months the insurance won't cover it. But did that work NEED to be done, particularly on a 5 year old that will lose his teeth over the next few years? I'm convinced that they latch onto anything that MIGHT need to be done, then convince you it's life and death.

Anyone here a dentist?
