[quote=Anonymous]This happened to me and I've been petrified of dentists since.  Guy saw me in law school said I had 9 cavities.  Showed them to me on a little video monitor.  I freaked.  I had no money.  No insurance.  Plus, how do I go from basically never having a cavity to 9.

I took the rec of a friend and went to the local university.  Dental school students did exams/fillings under watchful eye of licensed dentists/profs for pennies.  Turns out I had 1 cavity.  Had it filled and filled well for cheap.  I've never trusted another one since then.

Add to it the incompetent one in Arlington who has royally screwed up my DH's teeth and tried to double bill for it (we reported her to the licensing authority) and it has been a long road to trusting dentists.

We had a bit of luck and stumbled onto our latest dentist, who also is used by friends.  And, they seem to be competent, reasonably priced, and honest.  So, for us, finding the right one was luck, validated by others who used the practice for a long time and like them.[/quote]
