I just found a major piece of information regarding my old dentist, and quite frankly, I feel totally betrayed by her. I had a MAJOR amount of dental work done just a few years ago, in the THOUSANDS of dollars range - $15,000 + paid out of pocket. I began having issues with the work she did within a year or so after the work was performed (fillings falling out, teeth under bridge breaking, 2 teeth have had to be extracted since she did the work) and she had "retired" due to what I thought were health issues. Well, it was a health issue, just not what I was told. She was arrested for trafficking cocaine! I now understand WHY all the work has failed, and why I,and Ken too, have had such problems. She was probably high when she was working. I wondered why when I first went to see her to have something done to my front teeth cosmetically, that she gave me an estimate to crown every tooth in my head, which was/is totally unnecessary. Yes, my bottom front teeth are very crooked, but that didn't bother me, I just wanted to have a pretty smile up top (why grind down teeth if all they are is crooked?). So, now thanks to her sub-par care, I have had one tooth extracted, will have to have another one taken out soon and I just had another one break. So, now, not only am I (and my bro-in-law, who kindly helped me pay for the work) are out the money, missing teeth and have more major work that will have to be done.
Sometimes I wish I still worked for Dr. Anderson in B'ham...this never would have happened if it was his work.
