[quote=Anonymous]I left my dentist's practice when he found *seven* cavities that needed immediate fills.  I was 35 at the time and had two fillings in my adult life.

I was concerned that sudden cavity development might signal a health problem and I asked my dentist why/how I could suddenly develop seven cavities since my last appointment six months prior.

I have straight teeth thanks to childhood orthodontia and am meticulous/borderline obsessive about my dental hygiene.  This was a shock.

My dentist provided no real answers, but was very detailed in describing how he'd fill each cavity over the course of several appointments.  I had to look into sedation dentistry for the first time, ever because I knew I'd be extremely anxious.

Got a second opinion via another dentist- had my X-rays sent and had a screening.  I switched to this new  dentist and guess what?  This dentist filled *two* cavities and is watching another.  This was about five years ago.  What happened to my other cavities?  It's a miracle![/quote]
