re: OT Dentists - Over-diagnosing cavities

Believe me, they were all abscessed. I just have bad teeth. one just crumbled one time. I have acid reflux. Nexium does a great job but my saliva is acidic, eats away at the enamel. Dentists love me.

Now I did have one hygienist one time give me a cleaning. Started telling me I had several pockets that needed fixing or else in a few months I was going to start losing teeth. Of course she wanted me to go to a periodontist and spend alot of money. Went and got my cleaning again 3 months later instead and used a different hygienist and guess what? Pockets had shrunk and no need for a specialist. They canned her later.
