All my life I've never had any problem with my teeth. On my first visit to MPD I was told I had 4 cavities that needed to be filled. I couldn't believe it but it had been a couple of years since my last exam and I'd had a child since then. I heard that horomones can affect your teeth so I didn't question it. I had them filled, no biggie. Upon my next visit, I was told I had 4 cavities and that one was in a wisdom tooth that needed to be pulled. I let her pull it and the opposing tooth. Boy was THAT a mistake. I should have gone to an oral surgeon but I didn't know any better. The way they billed me was really funky, so much so that my Health Care Spending account rejected my request for reimbursement.
After a lot of pain after the extraction I returned and saw another dentist who was dumbfounded that I wasn't give the proper tools to clean the socket, etc.
Anyway, ever since my first visit, I couldn't help but feel like they were trying to find something wrong with me just so they could jack up the fees they would collect from me. I even heard another patient comment that she'd never had problems before she came to that dental office.
Well, I decided not to complain and just change dentists. My new dentist was very surprised that I'd had a cavity in my wisdom tooth. She said my teeth were really good and even with the ""deep grooves"" in my teeth I had no signs of decay at all.
That clinched it. If you feel like maybe you're getting scammed. You probably are. Don't go to this office and if you do, don't see Dr. Hague. I now go to Orange Hill Dental and love them!
