Yer, I was a victim of 70s "driller killer" dentist. Every time a ruddy filling. I stopped going shortly after starting work when he subjected me to extreme pain and the only response from him was "stop making animal noises old sport"
Had a break of 3 decades until the stuff he put in degraded and gave me 2 abbesses simultaneously. The ones I go to now are brilliant. I haven't had any new work, they just keep having to repair all the stuff that b*srard put in. Got alone knows how much dental work I would have if I hadn't stopped seeing him when I did. The fact that I haven't needed any new dental work done for the decades after I stopped seeing him merely rams home how unlikely it was that all the stuff he did was necessary.
I'm still quite angry about it, and I'm still "dining out" on the problems he created with the tooth that has broken during lockdown. It was one of the ones he killed with a huge filling in the 70s
