Find a decent dentist that doesn't over or under do is a pain..
Went to a great one years ago.. he sold his practice to a husband and wife team.. Used them for several years until one day she tells me I need to have my wisdom teeth pulled. I'm 49 and I still have them. They are find.. one small filling on the back of one of them, no other issues. I'm like "Why?" she says cause they'll have to come out eventually.. She was trying to show me these white spots on them with a camera that were the startings of cavaties, etc. I wasn't impressed. At the same time there were upcoming issues with my daughter-in-laws teeth (she call the dentist 'Satan').
Just so happened that the next weekend the guy that sat next to me at the Mariners game was a dentist. We got to talking and my entire family now goes to him. In the last 4 years.. of 4 people.. 3 of us have had to have root canals from the old dentist retreated by an endodontist because she either didn't get all the roots or didn't go deep enough. With mine.. I had a crown over it and the endodontist was able to save the crown.
Oh and.. four years later, I still have my wisdom teeth... no problems at all.
