Needless to say, when I left the office, despite being shocked at what I had just been told and wondering how to pay for it since finances were tight at the time, I decided not to do anything for the time.

In addition to my “diagnosis”, the rest of my family were all told that they had one or more cavities that needed to be filled.

A month or so later, as a result of a job change and insurance change, our family went back to our prior dentist for a checkup. You will be interested to know that none of us were found to have any cavities. The dentist said my prior filings looked great and my teeth looked healthy (this was without me saying anything about my prior experience with Dr. Nielsen and Provo Dental Care).

Unfortunately, we did have my youngest daughter get her cavity filled (fortunately not a permanent tooth). If we had followed through with the treatment, our family would have been out probably a few thousand dollars for no good reason.

I advise you to beware. I will not be going back and would certainly not recommend Dr. Nielsen to anyone (despite the fact that he seems to be a nice person). Sorry for the lengthy review, but I hope it may be of use.
