1. Looking for a trustworthy dentist after a bad experience （ 96 ｜ 28 ｜ 34）
Original title:Looking for a trusted dentist after bad experience
Post summary:I've been going to my current River Family Dental for years with no issues, not even a cavity, getting cleanings every 9 months. At my last cleaning, they gave me a dentist I'd never seen before, and he told me he could see a cavity with his naked eye. The thing is, what he pointed out has been there for years, looks like a stain, and none of their other dentists ever said anything. I didn't even have an X-ray at this appointment. I got a filling and have extreme, constant, severe pain and sensitivity. Drinking water hurts

EN: Why can’t they buy already available commercial land? Why do we lose green space? Plus that area cannot handle the extra traffic - I'm in favor of giving up some park for a large apartment building, but how many units does it actually have? Based on the plan, there are only about 20 parking spots in front of the apartment building, so it looks like it can only have about 16 units (per cotb zoning, 1.25 parking spots per unit). Even if I'm generous and assume all parking is for the apartments (which isn't how it works), it's still at most 65 units. That's not a lot for the lost space. (18)

Post summary:Okay, might get hate for this, but... what's wrong with people in this city who let their dogs out of the car and then just drive alongside the dog, like that, round and round. I see it every day in the Innovation Dr/Prime Minister loop. The number of near misses I've had with dogs... oncoming vehicles passing, and then being surprised to find a damn dog chasing the car! This is not just insanely lazy, it's dangerous! Tonight I almost hit a shepherd, and it made me
