The family dentist when I was a kid would always have you stay longer and fill the teeth. Then my parents decided he wasn't doing a good job, so we switched to a larger practice where, among other things, you had to schedule a new appt for fillings; generally your first option was in about a week. When I was getting my teeth cleaned while home from college, which was a 10-hour drive, this meant that I generally went ridiculously long to get them filled. Not that I really minded. Every time that dentist filled a tooth, it never hurt before he filled it but hurt to chew on for weeks afterward. Needless to say, I don't go there anymore.
