He lied and told me if I refused care then, I could never see a dentist again in the USN.
I am absolutely certain he drilled a couple of good teeth down the center so he could get some practice. Filling failed 20 years later, one side and then the other, leaving me to get a few crowns. Only time I ever had a dentist tell me I had a cavity was that guy, that day, so I am saying he was FOS.
Genetics counts for a heck of a lot.

LOL...I was a US Navy dentist for 10 years. There's plenty of good dentistry that gets done there...and plenty of bad.
Just like what occurs in private practice unfortunately.
