Let me make myself clear by letting everyone know I am not bashing dental surgeons in general (I'm sure there are some good ones out there!) or trying to cause World War 3.
I simply don't trust them. They always seem to find work that needs to be done whenever I go despite my teeth being looked after pretty well. I'm in my late twenties and most of my teeth have amalgam fillings in them which does nothing to help my self confidence/esteem at all. I have stopped attending my six months check ups because I simply cannot deal with being told that more work needs to be done once again when I know nothing needs to be sorted out. I'm not dismissing their professional opinion either but I know my own body pretty well and I will do what I feel that I need to do if/when something isn't quite right.
I guess I just needed to rant a little. Thanks for reading providing you haven't closed the tab yet. 😀
