What if the dentist say you haven't paid him?

I went to the dentist this morning to have my final finish. When I paid him the final installment, he told me I had not paid him anything earlier,unless I showed him the receipt right away, which I did not take with me. After a short time, the nurse found out I did pay part of the fees. I felt very angry. That should not be the same dentist I have known for over ten years. But after a second thought, I realized he might be too old to care about things beyond medical care. His age might have failed him to have a perfect memory. Anyway, tooth fixing is my focus. I felt sorry for him and could only say to him "Take care", instead of "Good bye".

It probably is the fault of the office staff, who ever is in charge of the bills and collects the money from the patients. Usually the doctors/dentists do not handle payments, their staff does that.
