I'm Feeling Very Unhappy

So, here’s the thing. I had a dentist, who I liked and saw every so often. Yet eventually we switched due to various reasons. However when I got to my new dentist, he revealed to me so much stuff about my condition that makes me incredibly bitter against my old dentist. Here’s what each dentist said about my teeth condition; [Note: switch was recent, past week]

Dentist 1 [Old]: Your teeth are perfect. One cavity - there, filled perfectly! Your wisdom teeth are ok too, keep em!

Dentist 2 [New]:

That filling is broken, and your tooth has decayed beyond repair due to the filling being improperly placed in. We will have to remove the entire tooth, the bad method of filling and the resultant decay has damaged the tooth beyond repair.
Your teeth aren’t perfect. There are numerous cavities that are easily seen, and some of them seem to have been there for a very long time, and are approaching the nerve.
Your Wisdom teeth are at critical levels. Remove as soon as possible, they are slanted which makes them slower to cause damage and pain but you must remove them very soon as they will be causing severe pain soon.


I am incredibly angry and dissapointed at the incompetence of Docter 1. I’m glad I switched. This is outrageous, and now I’m going to have three teeth removed thanks to him.
