This has been bugging me for sometime now

The other day when I went to get my teeth checked and x-rayed this is the gist of the conversation I had with the dentist.

Dentist: ... so...
Me:... hi
Dentist: What seems to be the problem?
Me: ... um, my gums hurt and I think my wisdom teeth are coming out.
Dentist: Is that so.
Me: ... I ... don't know. I came here to get an X-ray.
Dentist: So... I guess I'll look in your mouth... and see if ... it's really your wisdom teeth coming out.

ONE CHECK UP AND ONE X-RAY LATER, I WAIT FOR THE RESULTS.
(awkward silence)
Me: so... uh do I have any cavities?
Dentist: ... a few... small ones
Me:... uh... okay? Can I get them filled now?
Dentist: ... if you want...
Me: okay

3 FILLED CAVITIES LATER
Dentist: ... done.
Me: (sitting up and looking at the picture the nurse just brought in) Is that mine?
Dentist: Ya...
Me:... (No idea if the picture is a good thing or a bad thing)So what happens next?
Dentist: ... That's up to you
Me: So you mean I have to get them extracted?
Dentist: Not really. This one seems to be quite far away, you can wait.
Me: ... oh... how bout the other one?
Dentist: If it doesn't hurt, it's okay.
Me: Right... okay?
Dentist: So that's it.
Me: okay... um see you...

Why do I suspect that the Dentist didn't pass medical school? Before her all the dentists I met were quite authorative. Like my orthodontist. (Your jaw is too small. your teeth are cramped. I'll extract your pre molars and close the gap. the process will take 2 to 3 years)Or the nurse in school (Open you mouth sweetie. You have a cavity and I'm going to fill it now. If you're good I'll give you a sticker)

I never actually had to ask them what was wrong or what was causing my gums to bleed. They just took a look at my teeth and told me outright. If I hadn't asked, I get the feeling that my new dentist wouldn't have told me I had cavities.

tl;dr: it's a fact now, anybody my dad thinks is awesome, is not.

I'm definitely going back to the old one. I only went to the new one because my dad insisted on it.

Do you floss regularly?

Ugh, dentists! Some of them are just horrible, and I've only been to the bad ones, even though yours sounds pretty terrible.

One pulled the wrong tooth.

One forgot to anesthetize me.

My current one thinks he's R. Lee Ermie. "YOU WILL OPEN YOUR MOUTH WIDE AND SAY AHHHHHHH MAGGOT!"

I agree with this concern. Flossing, and I mean active, really rippin'-it-through flossing, can alleviate so much. That and balls-to-the-wall original turpentine flavored Listerine.
