I went to the dentist today for a much needed and long overdue root canal procedure. I haven't had dental insurance for over 20 years. I am so grateful to finally have insurance to help keep the costs of procedures affordable. Today was the worst experience I have ever had with a dentist. I don't know what to do. I'm sure that this was the exception, and not typical for this dentist. I have been seeing him for a year for routine cleanings, so I was surprised today. He put me in physical pain, so extreme that my body went into shock and I couldn't stop shaking. I don't want to go through this again, but I started to trust him and felt safe. Now I feel scared to get further dental work done. Please pray for guidance, as I don't know what I should do.
