Ha ha! Thanks -- I needed a laugh about this one. I think he is just
young and stupid, but you need to add arrogant to the mix. So I guess
I need to look around and find the easiest, least dangerous road to
simply putting something on record that the guy is careless. What I
need to do is find a new dentist and look to having a good
professional relationship with him/her. My instincts tell me to be
honest and up front with the new dentist from the very first moment.
Some people are telling me that I should lie about it and trick him

You>re overthinking this. If you feel a need to tell the dentist what
happened, just tell him/her what happened. "Just the facts, Ma>am".
Res ipsa loquitur, and all that. You were nervous after that, just
wanted to find someone new. And if you can use the name of a patient as
a referrer, all the better.
Good luck,
Steve
