I no longer trust my dentist...

[mantora]

Since I got my braces on back in September, my dentist has become more and more carless with what she does in my mouth. I have had various cuts and scrapes in my mouth where she has slipped. I would be fine if it was an uncommon thing, but it seems now that whenever I go to her it is guaranteed that she will make a painful mistake. Last week she was replacing my wire and tried to stick a drill in my mouth and, with her rep for slipping up, I refused. Now I don't seem to have the courage to go back... help?

That doesn't sound good at all, can imagine your appointments are becoming quite a daunting experience... Could you change dentists at all? Depending on how much you have already paid/how far along treatment is etc. you may be able to ask for another dentist either at the same surgery or a completely new one?

I wish I could change dentist, but I'm in the middle of a procedure and can't back out now...

Maybe you should change dentist, she sounds to risky ! my last dentist did the same with me.

What procedure would prevent you from changing dentist? I can't imagine...
