and...another update on the dentist
today I called the dentist my dad gave me the ad for.
They're booked until September 12. I was going to say "okay, thanks" and forget about it, but a free dental exam and x-rays for new patients without insurance? Okay, sure. The lady asked when I was last at the dentist, and I couldn't say Tuesday, so I said that it's been 4 years (because up until Tuesday, it had been 4 years since I was last at the dentist) and I wanted the check up. I told the receptionist that my teeth weren't hurting, but I had some broken ones and a filling recently came out. All true.
So now I have an appointment with the new dentist for September 12 at 9:30 am. That's a Wednesday so I'll have to call into N/J that I won't be in that day. I also have to call my current dentist and reschedule my 8/30 appointment for a day after September 12. The new dentist has a cheaper amount for extractions, but when they lady was explaining the cost of crowns to me, they were almost $200 MORE than at my dentist and she was all "we'd give you a discount so you'd only pay x amount" I think it was like 5% or 10% discount, but it was still more than my dentist. Anyways, I'm thinking September 13 or September 18 will be when I get the ball rolling at my current dentist, but I'll know for sure once I see this new one.

Maybe this dentist will give me a different prognosis than mine and if that happens, then I might discuss it with my parents.

eta 1 I was able to find 1 review on yahoo from 2009
Worst Dental Experience!!! My appointment was rescheduled 3 times in the same week. They are unaware of times and dates of when they book appointments. If your appointment is rescheduled for a Sunday, good luck. The air conditioner is out of service. I had to tell the dentist assistant that it was too hot in order to get a fan. Yes, it is true, there's a TV in each room. Is it worth it?..NO!
eta 2 apparently a "sister" office has had a couple of complaints about horrible dentists, but none at the location I'm going to
