That shit happened to me in the Navy. They check you out, then have you come back in a few months to fix you up. This guy was looking in my mouth when I went back for the fixin', and said, "Hmmm, this looks okay, and it looks like I was the one who said it was bad. Well, lets just see what we can find" I said hold on there, if it isn't broken, no need to fix it. He told me that if I refused care now, I would never be able to get dental care again in the service, which I am sure was a lie, but he was an Lt, and I was 18, no fillings since then though.

BTW, ice is your friend in this deal
