I
debated
on
writing
this
for
a
while
but
after
talking
about
it
with
some
friends
in
the
industry
and
another
friend
who
had
the
same
thing
happen
I
thought
I
needed
to
let
it
be
known.
While
the
front
desk
staff
are
all
super
friendly
and
wonderful
I
did
not
have
the
same
experience
from
the
dentist
himself.
Upon
my
initial
exam
everything
seemed
normal
other
than
the
fact
they
pulled
out
a
blood
pressure
cuff.
I
know
this
is
normal
if
you
are
older,
but
I
am
in
my
20s
and
have
never
had
my
blood
pressure
taken
at
the
dentist
until
now.
The
only
thing
I
could
think
of
is
because
I
am
overweight..
I
said
nah,
that's
silly!
Until
the
dentist
came
in.
He
went
over
my
xrays
and
after
the
exam
made
it
very
clear
in
a
condescending
way
that
my
teeth
needed
A
LOT
of
work.
Mind
you
I
haven't
been
to
the
dentist
in
a
couple
of
years
and
new
I
was
going
to
need
some
work.
I
brushed
that
off
and
asked
what
needed
to
be
done.
I
agreed
and
was
ok
with
it...
Until
suddenly
I
was
being
talking
down
on
about
"what
I
eat"
and
asked
"you
know
what
causes
tooth
decay,
right?
sugar
and
carbs"
right
then
I
knew
what
was
happening.
I
felt
uncomfortable
and
upset.
I
basically
got
schooled
on
my
diet,
and
felt
like
I
was
fat
shammed
to
be
completely
honest.
I
hate
that
phrase
with
a
passion.
I
live
a
very
health
lifestyle
and
have
PCOS
which
causes
insulin
resistance
and
stubborn
weight.
I
did
not
feel
I
needed
to
explain
this
to
him
because
he
is
not
my
doctor,
nor
is
he
one
at
all.
The
whole
visit
with
him
was
uncomfortable
and
I
felt
demeaned.
I
initially
brushed
it
off
and
told
myself
I
was
being
silly.
I
kept
my
scheduled
appointments
and
planned
on
going
to
them.
Til
I
spoke
to
my
husband
and
talked
to
some
friends
that
work
alongside
dentists.
I
was
told
that
was
NOT
ok
and
to
not
go
back..
Another
one
of
my
friends
had
went
there
and
had
the
same
experience
and
was
in
tears
in
her
car
after
as
well..
I
honestly
cannot
believe
the
good
reviews
he
has..
I
already
am
nervous
about
the
dentist,
but
this
made
it
even
worse.
I
cancelled
my
appointments
and
decided
not
to
go
back.
