More details to this question:
I went to a dentist to look at fillings I just had replaced 2 weeks after. He said I had cavities on all the teeth fillings had just been replaced on. I was stupid and believed him. He then goes in and starts drilling before I'm numb. Hitting all my back teeth with the drill shaving them down putting dips in healthy teeth. Caused my teeth to shift now I have gum recession on 2 teeth my bite is off. Teeth hurt from being pushed up against each other. I can't chew crunchy stuff at all on the right side of my mouth and it hurts on the left. My teeth are so messed up.

Based on your description of what happened to you, it sounds as if you have a good malpractice case against your dentist. What makes you case stronger is that the dentist's actions were intentional. Of couse the dentist will have his side of the story.
I can't believe you are the only victim of this dentist. He's probably done this before. Start by looking for on-line reviews of this dentist. Then find yourself a malpractice attorney in your State.
