About Hygienist: The most recent hygienist is the first one ever who actually caused some damage to my teeth by overly grinding on the enamel. Her grinding at it was aggressive. I now feel consistent pain in one of my teeth as a result, which occurred immediately after the cleaning. That tooth has become overly sensitive. Dr. Smith is the kind of dentist who likes to cover up his mistakes (on numerous occasions) and would call this result "not possible." It happened, Dr. Smith. On one occasion, he sent me to have my tooth pulled, then when that specialist fouled up and damaged the tooth in front of it, Dr. Smith denied that he created a hole in the tooth in front of the pulled one or that a cap would ever be needed there. Then one year later, he tells me that that tooth needs a cap!
