Left a dentist over this "you need root planing!" whaaaaatt?? I brush my teeth 2 times a day with an electric tooth brush and they are squeaky clean. I said to schedule me for it "we can get you in today!" me: "i gotta see a man about a dog" . I go to a new dentist and say nothing, he takes me in, does the xray, etc for new patient. Says my teeth and gums look great, no cavities. Guess who I cancelled on the next day and guess who I saw in 6 months for my next dental appointment.
The real question here is: How did you manage to get a new patient appointment with the second dentist so quickly? New Patient appointments where I live (rural CA) are at least a 3 month wait.
At my suburban home in the Phoenix area I could probably walk out to the Main Street closest to me, throw rocks and hit 10 different dental offices. There is no shortage in suburban neighborhoods.
