Normal Routine: You should have digital x-rays taken. They are much larger, clearer, less radiation, and you can see things the dentist wants to bring to your attention. Please remember, your mouth is yours, not ours; we are simply the care takers of any potential problems, as well as a teacher to help guide your oral health regiment. If you feel your needs are not being properly addressed, keep looking : ).

Possibilities?: Two thoughts come to mind. Either you haven't engaged the dentist and requested more information and conversation concerning your treatment or....You have not found the type of dentist with whom you would respect and be more comfortable and satisfied with. Obviously, I have no way of knowing which one it is. Perhaps, it's both. They are out there. You just need to find one. Good luck!
