My horrible experience started when I got a tooth ache for the first time in my life, I was  well in my 30's . I guess I bit down and slightly cracked my tooth,. This was odd because I got myyfirst cavity at 23 yrs old, ive always had good teeth. I couldnt take the pain , I have extremely high pain tolerance.  So my insurance recommend me to a couple of dentists, the only one that would see me right away was western dental.

I had taken my son to the stockton one with no problems. So I figured it would be about the same. So they took complete xrays which I thought

Was unnecessary since I was in tears from pain. I asked if they could do the rest at another date. So dentist came examined my teeth and said it had to be pulled. Like a baby a started crying.. not  do to having my tooth pulled, so I exsplained that I had extensive ortho work done,. Braces for 3 1/2 years a porcelain filling or partial where I never got adult tooth. I am very proud of my teeth. So I asked if they could do anything else I feared my teeth would shift. 

He said no and that there was an infection . So he gave me a minute. And upon his return I had him check with all the dentists and he assured me my teeth wouldnt shift and id be fine. But my gut told me otherwise.  But I assumed I was just paranoid.  So I told him numbing had weird effect on me . Made me groggy.  He said no. They numbed my gums with q-tip thing but waited till it wore off then gave me oral shots. ? Which

Made me feel nauseous.  And started to extract  my tooth in back on upper left. This guy couldnt pull it out, he literally was kneeling on chair besides me. And I felt every bit of it..but I just wanted over. He had to get a bigger taller guy. It took both of them to pull it out. It hurt do flippin bad I felt like I was gonna pass out, blood a nasty puss went everywhere.  I though they wernt supposed to do this if infection was bad. It made me sick everytime I changed my goze. I was more sore than when I had all four impacted wisdom teeth pulled.

They said I needed all this exstensive scrapping and work done. But thank god I said I had to check with my work and insurance. 

I thought all was ok untill 2yrs later as I had suggested my teeth slowly moved and now I have a horrible gap right inbetween my front teeth.my bite is off and it now pushed my lower teeth crooked. Im so devastated. And since it has takin so long for the shift im guessing its to late to hold them accountable. Im traumatized.  My teeth were beautiful.  Now it looks like I never even had braces. My braces were hell. I got them in the 80's. Bulky sharp metal wire. I was torcher. For what.. went from crooked mess to gappy crooked mess. Top it off im affraid of the dentist now.
