I had this with a dentist I had been seeing. He did a few fix appointments for free before finally getting it right, but due to that issue and his high cost, I found someone else I liked better and that was much more cost effective. I'd say let her have a chance to correct it, but don't feel bad about trying out another dentist for a cleaning and exam next time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-switch-dentist#post-1329823 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 23:16:10 +0000 cranberryapple 1329823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HolisticMama: I want to find a WAP dentist too! What kinda procedures have you gotten with your new dentist that is different from conventional dentists? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-switch-dentist#post-1327388 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 07:56:04 +0000 yellowbird 1327388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: I would ask her to check your bite and adjust it! Should be a free visit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-switch-dentist#post-1325366 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 13:25:51 +0000 Mrsbells 1325366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanx everyone!</p> <p>@yellowbird: yes we have pain on biting, so maybe that's the issue? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-switch-dentist#post-1323917 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 21:45:16 +0000 travelgirl1 1323917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This has just happened to me, actually. Pregnancy did a number on my teeth and I needed a few fillings and the biggest one had to be redone. Even after that, flossing hurt and it was still sensitive to chew but I put off going back because I don't have any childcare and LO screamed all the way through my last appointment. Anyway, I ended up going back on Saturday and they reshaped it a bit, smoothed away the rough edges and it does feel better although I have a bit of an ache there tonight. It's made me think about switching dentists too :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-switch-dentist#post-1323809 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 21:00:24 +0000 yellowbird 1323809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HolisticMama: after reading that paragraph I'm almost positive that he is using composite resin, like 99 percent of dentists do today. </p> <p>I am not opposed to silver fillings in the right circumstance, but most dentists use them sparingly these days. Also, I would hope any dentist would allow you the choice between amalgam and composite.</p> <p>Sensitivity after a filling is normal up to 2-3 months, especially if it was deep decay. Pain on biting often means it is too high and may need adjusted. Throbbing, spontaneous pain may indicate pulp (nerve) degeneration. Other types of pain may indicate fracture. It is really specific why the OPs teeth still hurt </p> <p>I would give the dentist another chance to look at your tooth a address your concerns! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-switch-dentist#post-1323803 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 20:59:00 +0000 Greentea 1323803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would switch! Not to scare you but the only time that ever happened to me it was a bad filling ...it got infected... had a root canal! I found a guy I like and he is not covered by insurance and costs a fortune but it is worth it to me. I can tell you more horror stories! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-switch-dentist#post-1323770 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 20:48:52 +0000 HolisticMama 1323770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: He's into Biomimetic Dentistry. It's pretty interesting.<br /> <a href="http://www.academylaserdentist.com/services-provided/" rel="nofollow">http://www.academylaserdentist.com/services-provided/</a></p> <p>Initially I found him because I was looking for a mercury free dentist: <a href="http://www.westonaprice.org/dentistry/guide-to-holistic-dentistry" rel="nofollow">http://www.westonaprice.org/dentistry/guide-to-holistic-dentistry</a></p> <p>;) I'm turning into a bit of a hippy. </p> [attach=4604/14/mz0d1h.398x600.download.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-switch-dentist#post-1323760 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 20:45:11 +0000 yellowbird 1323760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HolisticMama: what kind of materials are quality materials? As opposed to what? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-switch-dentist#post-1323756 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 20:43:09 +0000 HolisticMama 1323756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In a heart beat. There are so many wonderful dentists out there.<br /> I've been bouncing around with dentists and have finally found someone that I adore. He's really holistic and uses real quality materials. </p> <p>I'm sorry that your teeth are hurting. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-switch-dentist#post-1323713 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 20:17:38 +0000 yellowbird 1323713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did she check your bite? How many times have you told her that they are still sensitive? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-switch-dentist#post-1323667 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 19:57:23 +0000 Mrsbells 1323667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I starting going to a new dentist last year, and we like her flexible hours, however late last year she fixed cavities for us and even though it's been months we still gave sensitivity to the point that I can hardly chew on one side and DH is the same. I gave had cavities done before and never experienced this. When I asked her about it she said well sometimes it takes longer for the sensitivity to go away, but it's been months. Has this happened to anyone? </p>
