got 4 cavities. dentist wants to fill in each one on a separate

My dentist took 15-20 minutes per to fill in cavities I had. He's probably just trying to make sure he doesn't take too much time on one patient if he's a busy dentist with a good practice. Do you really want to sit through that anyway?

Possibly. It might be more comfortable to at least do them on separate sides of your mouth (left in one session, then right in another, for example).

I would suggest that before permitting any drilling that you get an examination by another dentist. Don't say anything about having cavities, just see if the second one reports that you have four cavities and that they're all in the same places.

There's often no clear evidence of lack of a cavity in an x-ray and a LOT of dentists lie to try to make money because they know that once the drill & fill is done, there's going to be no definitive proof that they were lying.

No, its a move to get more money since you pay for each appointment. His reasoning is to get money. Dentist will do that a lot, vets as well.

Just brush your teeth every once in a while and then you won't need to go to the dentist
