Why does this health center continue to call me?
This health center place continues to call me repeatedly each day trying to confirm an appointment that I have never made with them. I have called them and told them that I haven't made any appointments with them but they continue to contact me. What could be the reason for this? They're called the miles square health center. They are really beginning to worry me.

Can anyone give me some information on cavities?
Okay, so I have never had a cavity in my whole life. I'm almost 21. I went to a new dentist today, and they told me I have five. I went to another dentist for sometime but they had two appointments mix ups, and called to cancel and reschedule them on me all the time. I got fed up and stopped making one, so it has been a year and two months since I got a cleaning.
I don't know how I could have five cavities in that amount of time especially when I haven't had any in my whole life. I also feel like I'd be in pain. I don't have any, at all. I have one sensitive tooth, but that's not one where the cavities are.
My mom thinks they are just trying to get money from me, 'cause the second I got in there they were trying to get me to buy fluoride rinses, and teeth whitening. Then they said that it would cost ,852 to get them all filled, my insurance would pay ,500 of it. Then I told them, well I can't afford that right now, and they were trying to get me to get a dental credit type card with them. I said I couldn't make any decisions right now, and she was like "well why don't I make you an appointment for January and you can call if you don't have the money?" I told her no, and she was still trying to push the credit on me.
My mom said fillings shouldn't cost that much. It would mean they would cost over 0 each, I looked it up and it said that it should be - 0 per filling. That's a big difference.
I don't know how I can have this many cavities and not be in pain at all. My mom said I should get a second opinion. I also looked up cavities, and it said a lot of times they take years to form, so I don't know how I could have five. Either this dentist is lying, or my other dentist didn't know what to look for.
Does this sound fishy to anyone?
How do cavities feel?
Does it hurt to get them filled?
Was my new dentist being completely unprofessional?
I lost my insurance a few months ago and when I finally got my new insurance, I had to switch dentist. Due to the fact that my old dentist didn't accept my new form of insurance. When I got to my new dentist's office the receptionist was very nice and so was the hygienist who cleaned my teeth. When the dentist came to check my teeth, after the cleaning, she was extremely negative and rude. I have braces and I'm due to get them off this year ( but I'm no where near finished). When she looked at my teeth she said numerous things which appalled me. Every time I go to the orthodontist they tell me that I'm brushing well, but this dentist told me that I'm not brushing my teeth and that I might want to consider having my braces taken off if I couldn't start brushing my teeth. It really pissed me off because I brush my teeth, thoroughly, twice a day. I also floss and use a Christmas tree brush a few times a week, not to mention daily mouth wash. I'm constantly picking plaque off of my teeth at home with a dental mirror and pick. It didn't even take but 10-15 minutes to clean my teeth. The dentist accused me of "brushing my teeth well right before I go into my orthodontist appointments and only then". She also said that I had the teeth of a 40 yr old and that my teeth would look bad when my braces came off due to white spots. I don't see any white spots. Gum disease runs in my family and I have very weakly rooted teeth, plus enamel damage for when I was much younger. When she would hit the vein in front of my front teeth I would say "owe" and she'd say, "that's not hurting you." Then, she said, TO MY FACE, that she wanted to 'referrer' me to someone else because of my anxiety. All of the things she said, surprised me. I always hear "you're doing a good job" when I go to an orthodontist, and despite my weak teeth, I had no dental problems.
I don't know if I'm over reacting or if she really was being a total bitch. What do you think?
