I would do it only when: 1) They specify what kind of pain management techniques they will be using (that are an improvement over the last time); 2) They agree to do it for free; and 3) I am convinced by 1) and 2). The dentist really said, "I hurt you more than I needed to?" What kind of sadist is that?

I think anytime you see a doctor or a dentist, etc. You need to feel comfortable. Just by asking this question, it seems like you uncomfortable. There is a level of trust that happens between a client and a professionl and once that trust is broken for whatever reason, it is hard to get it back. You can go back on "certain terms" by discussing your concerns with them or you can ask someone you trust about what dentist they recommend or do some research on the internet etc. Changing dentists really is not at all, it is simply just a change over of records, the hard part is finding one you will trust. Good luck and stand your ground whatever you decide to do. REMEMBER THE DENTIST WORKS FOR YOU!

I work in the dental field, and I think you are TOTALLY correct that you should go elsewhere. You deserve to be paired with a dentist who cares about how you are, both dentally and emotionally. To feel abused by a dentist is something that should not be tolerated. If you do choose not to return, I think you should send the dentist a note (even if it is anonymous) voicing your complaints. This is important information, and can give him/her an opportunity to be better on all of his patients in the future. keep smiling!!
