When I first came to Ithaca I went to the dentist who came first in the phone book and found he wanted to do too much of everything including take pano X rays even though I had no problems.

It was bad enough I didn't go to a dentist for another two years and when I did I got a recommendation from the department secretary. I'm still seeing that dentist although I don't actually see the dentist (as opposed to the hygienist) unless I've actually got a problem.
