The Trust Factor
I've had two root canals. The first time I swear the dentist never told me I had to come back for a crown. She swears she did! By the time I found out, my dental insurance was gone and it cost me a fortune.
The second time the experience was horrible. The dentist told me I needed another root canal because of the pain I was having after the first one.
I went to a specialist who told me I didn't need it.
It's just really hard to trust them after bad experiences.
We have found a fabulous dentist for my daughter though. Her former dentist said she would need braces and the new one explained why she wouldn't. He also really listens. What a relief it is to find such a great dentist.
If only he treated adults too!
