Default Ageism in dentistry? OFF TOPIC

Hello all.

This is no belated April fool's joke.
I went to the dentist last week to have a small white filling done
_privately_. This dentist is the owner of the practice (2 associates, as far
as I know). He should be very experienced, and should have been able to do
that job "with his eyes shut". Well, that filling dropped out soon
afterwards. His associate (who has gone back to Sweden where they both
trained) did a very similar white filling some time ago, and it's still
intact.
The hole in the tooth was very shallow, and I was extremely surprised (but
said nothing) when he just cleaned the cavity and did not enlarge and/or
deepen it. I was therefore not surprised (_strictly the truth_) when it
dropped out.
I must add that I've had a number of unfortunate incidents with some other
local dentists where treatment had to be repeated two or three times. I've
had to ask for my money back twice, and regret that I didn't do so another
two or three times. A pattern has finally emerged (so I believe) with this
latest incident.
I would be very grateful for any comments.

Thanks in advance.

Sylvain.
