Im very ashamed about this and its haunting me-what can I do?
So I went to a chain dental clinic in Florida (which I have learned now that those are bad) and I just went for a cleaning, then after they sat me down with the dentist, who quickly started drilling, at the time I thought this was just protocol. I was very trusting. I was young and didn't know what a filling was or that they even drilled.
So the dentist proceeds to fill 8 teeth. I had been to this chain two years earlier where they gave me three fillings and I still didnt know exactly what that was. So the dentist this time asked if he could "refill them?" I dumbly said yes and then I even said "do as many as you can." !!!! because I thought that they were helping me. My teeth where fine and perfectly white with no visible cavities. Everyone always tells me how white my teeth are as well. The fillings were done so badly that five years later they all fell out. I was in shock and then realized that when I had gone to that dentist he had put fillings in my teeth. I really want to talk to someone about this because it really bothers me. Im not sure what to think or do about this? What would you advise, since it really takes its toll mentally on me. I have since had the teeth refilled by a trustworthy dentist but am scared and scarred. Do I just have bad luck?
