At another office, I had four cavities filled in 2011 and do a cleaning every 6 months. My teeth were in great condition and never even had pregnancy gingivitis. I tried getting the whitening treatment and could not because my teeth were whiter the the model comparison they used. I aged out of my insurance and had to change it as well as the dentist office.
I tried Silhavy Dentist 6 months ago when it was time for another cleaning and got about a 5 minute cleaning for my first visit and could still feel all the plaque on my teeth. They reported I had four new cavities which I had filled all at once and had gingivitis. He overly numbed me to where I felt like I could not breath and was going to choke. At one point they put a cotton roll under my tongue and forgot it there, I was so numb I did not feel it move and it almost went down my throat! Well for the lower back molar they were unable to make contact and the gum formed deep pockets around the two back teeth in which food get traped inside causing irritation, bad breath, bleeding, and pain. I went back a week later and told them that the problem is painful and i cannot chew on my left side. They looked at it and said they needed to 'sand it down because it is too wide' so it would make contact and the gums would heal around it. One hygienist gave me syringes full of a chemical wash to clean it out and use when painful, free of charge, because insurance would not cover them and if pain continued to come back.
Six months later, I am due for a cleaning and having the same problem. The hygeniest said I failed to return for an appointment for a debridement that I never knew about and tried to have me pay for more xrays that wouldnt be covered for $64 or I could wait until the next cleaning and they would be free. She stated the dentist had to come in and look before I could get the cleaning I was scheduled for. He came in and said I needed a redo on the cavity they filled that was irritated (for free) and get a crown on one ($1300 not covered by insurance)
