No. Some years ago a young lad dentist at cx qms told me I needed my wisdom teeth out. I know enough to know I don't, but checked up with a private practice in town. He advised most strongly to keep them and suggested that such an operation was a revenue generating exercise.
Maybe they are better now.

AAIGUY if your procedure involved any filling work then note if you get tooth ache at cabin altitude. Dental technicians (and I use the phrase pointedly) do not understand the importance of ensuring that no air spaces are left in the fill material for aircrew.
I cannot write what I have experienced here about QMS as I would get banned, but I do suggest that for any serious procedure offered by any medical practitioner, a second opinion is a good idea.

Sorry you had a bad experience (perhaps thats why it was so easy to walk in and get served).
I have flown a dozen sectors since the work. Now worries. I guess I got lucky.
My conventional Dentist is either Bailey and James in HKG (cmpy plan) or Thankit Dental Clinic in Bangkok, which is the best I have ever seen in the world.
