I know; it isn't nice to call someone ignorant or dumb but he really does deserve it.
This morning I went in for a cleaning and he found two teeth which needed filling and did I want to do it now or make an appointment so I said let's do it now. I said all my fillings but two are very old mercury fillings I've had since childhood. He said we aren't doing any old ones. Next thing I know he's drilling and I feel and hear pop pop pop!! I said did the drill break or my tooth? He said neither; it's just the mercury filling! I told him he and the assistant really needed face shields or protection from the mercury and he should use a low speed on the drill to reduce vapors. Note to self: Don't get anyone angry when they have a drill in their hand. He said don't worry about it and kept going. When he finished I told him again that mercury vapors from old fillings could be considered a hazard to both he and his assistant. He glared at me and walked away. I know he thinks I am a nut case but in this case I know I am right. Anyhow; I am going to be shopping for a new Dentist; one who knows about old mercury fillings and how to be nice to little old ladies!!
