Cheevers Laurence DDS

Almost 30 years ago I got connected with Dr. Cheevers through my fiancé, now my wife. He did an excellent job then replacing old amalgums that had run together. The replacement fillings have lasted all these years, and he and his colleages continue to provide excellent care for our teeth.

I had Dr. Cheevers for an emergency appointment when my regular dentist was away. He seemed nice enough at first, but soon started accusing me of having bulimia because I had «acid erosion» on my teeth.
I have never had a dentist mention anything like this to me in all my 30+ years, I asked my normal dentist about it afterwards and he said there are many things that cause it — soft drinks, wine, I am also a tooth grinder who now wears a nightguard, but I have worn down spots on my back molars from grinding as a child.
Anyways, my issue isn’t that Dr. Cheevers brought this up, I feel that is fair as a healthcare professional, it’s that he wouldn’t drop it after as I tried to defend myself. Looking at me sympathetically and saying it was «my problem» and how I chose to deal with it was my choice, but that’s what had caused it, so end of story type thing. I was pretty insulted and left with a bad taste in my mouth… sorry bad pun, but I felt it was pretty rude.
