Dentists??Have I been done?

I had two fillings last night, but they don't match the diagram they gave me last time I went. The diagram labelled 2 'C's (composite fillings) on one upper back tooth. However, I had a filling in one tooth on each side (upper back).





Also, afterwards, the dentist said he had to drill so far down that he could see the nerve. He said he was surprised at this. He said if I had any pain in that tooth that I should return as a matter of emergency for him to remove the nerve.





Has he just drilled too far and is trying to cover his back?





He ALSO said, on my first visit, that it looks like I eat too much sugar. I don't. He changed his mind on my second visit to say that at some point in my life I have eaten too much sugar. Why the change of story?





He says I need three further fillings. I have a little sensitiviy in 2 of these teeth so I am inclined to believe him, but I'm not sure I want to go back there again!!





What if he's given me a filling in the wrong tooth?

I would go and see a 2nd consultant.
Reply:He wasn't using a Black and Decker drill by any chance? He sounds more like a handyman rather than a dentist.
Reply:I don't like the sound of him, I'd get a 2nd opinion
Reply:i think the dentist who u were seeing had just graduated. it happens all the time with new graduates. they didnt know what to do and when they didnt know what to do... theyll do anything. the dentist was just trying to cover it back. u should see a more expeienced dentist...





GOOD LUCK!!!
Reply:I'd deffinitely go to another dentist, if you can find one. Or ask at your local Dental Access clinic if they will look at them for you. They're in your local paper or the phone book.

Reply:If he has not done the fillings that he said he was, then you have a right to complain.


however sometimes when doing a filling %26amp; removing decay in the tooth sometimes the decay can be far down %26amp; close to the nerve, find out if your dentist put a lining in your tooth before the filling as this helps to protect your nerve. If you have a silver filling this can conduct hot %26amp; cold, so maybe your dentist was just warning you incase you have any problems with the tooth (try avoid eating very hot or cold things for about a week). hope this helps
