My husband and I have been going to the dentist for many years. We call it the chop shop. Every time you go it is a different hygenist and dentist. They are consistently referring us for expensive procedures or appliances. On November 13, 2018 I had two "tiny" fillings done on the farthest back tooth on the upper right hand side. I was told they were so tiny I probably wouldn't even need to be frozen. Thank God they did. They had to wrestle with my mouth and jaw to even get the dam in and have me move my jaw from side to side to do the filling. They also suggested I get a mouth guard for sleep...... I have no idea why... Two days later I was off to Phoenix for a vacation. The entire vacation I was in pain. I came back to Calgary and just before Christmas, returned to the dentist, who was another new one, and they refiled the filling saying that the "bite was off". They told me to see how it was after two weeks, after again suggesting a purchase a sleep night guard. My Christmas was ruined because my sore jaw. I got in to see them again on December 27, which was the first day they had opened, again seeing a different dentist who informed me that I had TMJ and referred me to a specialist but suggested that I come in the following week to see the dentist who had completed the original filling. This dentist at least told me the TMJ specialist will probably make me a night guard for sleep. On January 2, 2019, I saw the original dentist, who admitted that my muscles may have been pulled during the procedure, patted my shoulder and suggested a get a jaw massage. No TMJ... no night guard needed.... missed work due to pain... lousy vacation and Christmas.... Massage Therapist at Massage on 194th was absolutely blown away at how damaged my muscles in my jaw are... and my husband and I will never go to that dentist office ever again... read more
