I want to sue my X scam artist dentist.

Do you think I have a case

A six months ago I went to the dentist that was covered by my husband dental insurance he gets though is job.  I changed my original dentist to go to this new one in order to have some dental coverage.  At that time I was five and a half months pregnant with my daughter.

The dentist told me that I needed to have four one surface fillings done as well as a deep cleaning.  I have never had any cavities or gum problems but believed what the dentist was telling me at that time.  Even with the dental insurance our share of cost came out to $400.00.   The bill being over $1000.00

After our daughter was born both my husband and I went to the dentist for our normal check ups. Where then we are both told we have more cavities that needed to be filled and that my husband should have deep cleaning as well.   Making a combined dental bill totaling up to over $2300.00 in dental cost.   At this point both my husband and I became suspicious of this dentist.

We had my my first set of X rays and all the new X rays for both my husband and I transferred to my original dentist for a second opinion.   I was told by my  dentist he does not see any cavities on the any of the set of   X-rays that were transferred to him.

Both my husband and I paid  for new X-rays to be  done by him. Just to have the same results,  he does not see any cavities.  He also stated he see no reason for my husband to get a deep cleaning.  Since I already had a deep cleaning all he could say is that I do not need one now either.

I feel like I was completely taken vantage of  by the dentist that had me do filling and a deep cleaning that was not necessary.  This was an assault I was pregnant at the time and could not have the adequate drugs during the filling and deep cleaning so the whole time he was working on me I was in pain but put up with it thinking it was necessary.  I want my money back that we spent as well as money for the pain he caused me to have for unnecessary work.
