Very uncomfortable and unpleasant experience

Very uncomfortable and unpleasant experience.

Having moved to NY last fall from California, I needed to find a new dentist in the city.

I went for an overall dental check-up. My first visit was okay - he told me my teeth were in very good shape (they were aligned, I had only one cavity, etc etc.) and that all I needed were two sealants and one filling.

On my following visit (which was a few weeks later), he put in the sealants and filling. He then tells me that I need braces. I'm 25 and no dentist I have ever been to up to this point in my life has told me that I need braces. It was almost laughable. I have extremely straight teeth.
He told me that "Invisalign" was the adult version of braces and that he strongly believed that I needed it.

It felt like I was at one of those salons where they try to push products on you and squeeze you for every cent you're worth.

I was in amazement. I couldn't believe a licensed professional was trying so hard to push products and procedures on me.

I understand that dentists need to make a living, but this was just too much.

Once I refused, he seemed offended and then proceeded to push yet another product on me. He tells me that he was able to get my insurance company to approve "Nightguard" - which is something you wear to sleep to prevent you from grinding your teeth.

Once I refused that product as well, he practically shoved me out the door.

Another aspect that really turned me off was his attitude towards my questions. He was too preoccupied to answer them and he seemed irritated and offended that I would waste his time by asking him questions.

Needless to say, I will have to find another dentist in NY.
