Crooked Dentists in US

Tweet

Four years ago, a dentist in Lafayett, Colorado drilled holes in my healthy molars. I tried to talk to him about it but he ran out of the room and locked himself in another room. The receptionist said that he was on a phone call, but I do not believe that. Before he did this, I had come in for a checkup and cleaning. That time, he said that I needed to have a tooth drilled and filled. (That tooth was not bothering me at all, I came in for sensitivity in my bottom four teeth in front) Anyway, while he was supposed to be filling that one tooth, he took the liberty of drilling holes in several other teeth that he didn't fill. I moved to Michigan after that and eventually, one of the teeth he sabotaged broke and had to be pulled. During the course of my life, I have tried to keep my teeth clean and take good care of them. I had told the Dentist that I had only had one cavity in my life, and that was a very small one when I was 33. I am now 41. I was crushed to find that my teeth began to decay where the crooked dentist had drilled them. I told a dentist in Michigan about it and he said that he didn't believe me. Both dentists were old men in their 60's or 70's. I don't know how to prove that it happened, but I find it interesting that the Michigan dentist told me that he couldn't see the cavities on my other molars, since they each had a brown area close to the gum -- which was visible to the naked eye. Now they are hurting, but I don't trust anyone. I got my crooked dentist from a dentist referral service in the US called 1-800Dentist. I had e-mailed them about the incident, but the only communication they gave me was an automatic confirmation that my e-mail had been recieved. I think the bad dentist wanted to do expensive root canal or bridge work. I also think the other dentist was covering for him. What would you do?
