I finally got some health care, because my front two teeth fillings came off after flossing. It looks horrible. So I call the dentist and tell them.. I have to wait a month. Fine.. I go today and all they do is take photos. They were the ones who filled it in the first place.
Then they tell me to come back in 30 days... for a cleaning...
I wonder what other things they'll come up with by then. It's a hassle as it is, having to use a local ride service, and defeating the purpose - since I'm trying to find a job, which is why I wanted my teeth fixed in the first place.

I understand. I remember in my childhood usually fixed the teeth problems by going to the dentist once. But a few years ago this would need to go there twice or even three times. I wonder whether my case was so complicated. I hope your teeth will be fixed soon.

That sounds like a dental clinic. You need a dentist who isn't in a dental clinic.
In dental clinics, they specialize in getting patients in and keeping them coming back without really doing anything for them.
