Two things.
I haven't missed a dental appointment every six months for decades.
I smelled a huge rat and I was right. I continued my search for a good dentist.
We now go to what we consider to be an ethical practice: Palm Dental behind Lang Eye off 466 across from the High School. Drs. Williams and Jabar, both women. They do offer medicine for anxiety, but I haven't used it. They were both trained at University of Gainesville Dental School.

Parker and Gracie, I'm somewhat relieved to hear I wasn't over-reacting to my experiences with the dentists down here.
I, too, have practiced good dental hygiene, going every three months to have my teeth cleaned during the last 15 years.
Prior to moving here, I had my final exam with my Michigan dentist. He had told me that if I continued my regular habits, I shouldn't have to worry about having any extreme dental work done. Alas, I fell prey to a dentist who insisted I needed a crown, which then required a root canal, which then required more work.
As I said in previous posts, I could have flown home to my Michigan dentist and learned...I was being scammed. Fool me once, shame on me....fool me twice, not going to be too nice.
