Dentist wrong about treatment?

[Mamabird2022]

Wondering if anyone has had the same experience or how I can handle my current ordeal.

I had a NHS dentist that I waited 3 years for as I was on the dental list. While I was pregnant I had hyperemesis and it’s ruined my teeth. Three years later I’m getting around to having the damaged fixed BUT my dentist has refused to do half of the work on the NHS. Two of my molars (top and bottom) have a hole near the gum line at the front of the tooth and my wisdom tooth has quite bad decay all on the same side.

The dentist has informed me that they will not be filling the holes as it’s deemed as cosmetic work and will need to pay privately for that if I want it fixed. I have literal holes.

For my wisdom tooth they have said for me to have it removed instead of filled as it’s “easier” I don’t want it removed. I have enough room for all my wisdom teeth as I had this issue with my last dentist.

they wanted to remove all four of my wisd teeth as they were “impacted” I asked to be referred to the dental hospital and they dragged their feet. I had X-rays done to which they said there is no issues with my wisdom teeth and that they are growing straight and I have enough room.

I can’t afford private dental care which my dentist knows however keeps pushing this. She always seems in such a rush too

Which wisdom tooth is it and where is the decay? I had an upper one removed as the decay was at the back and it was impossible to fill
when you say holes, what do they look like? You can get little indents (google tooth abfraction) which are cosmetic unless they’re painful or sensitive etc

I’m not a dentist but I was under the impression that with wisdom teeth they generally recommend removing them rather than a filling. I think it’s because they’re harder to access and harder to keep clean generally, so more likely to have a recurrent issue.

I wonder if yours are the same as mine. I had a hole in the side of a molar towards the gum and for years nhs dentists hadn’t done anything by with it, just said it was enamel loss but not causing an issue (I have a vomiting condition) but recently got a new nhs dentist and he filled it! No questions asked so I wonder if it’s who you get really

@ghostiewhisp its the bottom right wisdom tooth, I’ve looked up what you have said and it’s not that. This is a circle hole and it’s black. I have another on the top
