why do you think my dentist was so rude to me regarding the suspicious dark spot on my teeth

Q. Hi, I left my former dentist after she refused to bond a gap between my front teeth. She said that the hole was too large and by bonding it, my teeth would look extra big. I respected her decision but still wanted the gap bonded. I went to another dentist who bonded the gap, and started going to him regularly for a year. This dentist told me that I had a suspicious dark spot on my dental x-ray and referred me to an endodontics. Instead of seeing the endodontist, I went back to my former dentist and he was really rude to me. He told me that if I went to another dentist he would not see me again. Plus, while he was treating me, he hurt my mouth over and over again and when I would flinch or moan be told me that I was over reacting and that everything hurt me! This made me angry but I did not say anything. I kept thinking that as soon as I get out of this chair, I won’t come back! Why do you think he was so rude to me? Was it not my decision to seek another dentist after he would not bond my gap. By the way, the bonding looks great! Thanks

A. I am sorry you had such a bad experience my advice would be to find a dentist you trust and feel comfortable with.  I am glad your happy with the bonding.
