tigerlilly1111 is on a distinguished road

Originally from usa. Expat in italy.

Like I said, I have not had good luck with the local dentistry and the US has the best dental care and training in the world. The first (Italian) dentist I went to drilled too far to a nerve during a simple filling change. After that, I found another dentist (British) who had to do a root canal as a consequence of the first dentist, and that experience ended up a nightmare as well. Twice my temporary crown broke (was not advised on anything) and twice the permanent crown broke during fitting!! Between that and appointment rescheduling due to office misunderstanding and confusion I ended up going to the (2nd) dentist a total of 12 times in 6 months- NO JOKE!! (and that's not counting the initial 2 times I went to the first dentist). So, I am not taking my chances anymore. I had perfect teeth before all this. I want the level of care I am used to- an American or U.S.-trained dentist.
