Bear Creek Family Dentistry - North Dallas

I think this place is probably good for kids but not really for adults. I went in just for an exam and they told me I needed to get my wisdom teeth extracted because they were getting food debris and other things underneath the wisdom teeth? Okay, thats weird because the teeth havent even erupted through the gums yet. So somehow food debris is getting underneath my wisdom teeth, THROUGH my gums? I went and got a second opinion. X-rays and everything. Didnt tell them anything about my wisdom teeth. Exam went well, the next day I decided to specifically ask them about my wisdom teeth. They said there was nothing to note about them. It might be a few years before theyre ready to come out or they may not even come out at all. I am experiencing absolutely zero discomfort in regards to my wisdom teeth (normally a sign theyre ready to come out is discomfort or pain) so I was surprised to hear they should be extracted. Especially to be told that somehow food debris was getting THROUGH my gums and underneath my wisdom teeth? Keep in mind my wisdom teeth have NOT erupted (meaning they havent broken through the gums yet) so I dont know how thats possible. But I also dont know anything about dentistry so I cant say much. The only thing I can say is that a second opinion said a VERY different story. What this tells me is that either this dentistry is either money hungry, or inexperienced. Or it also could be that they just told me food debris was getting underneath my unerupted wisdom teeth because they didnt think if they actually told me why they needed to be removed that I would understand the dentistry jargon and just hoped I would take the advice at face value. I dont really want to assume, but I feel like this isnt really a good look either.

Update: Thank you for acknowledging me. The staff, however, are phenomenal and they do an outstanding job. So a little over year ago in December I had tooth problem. The very last tooth on my upper right jaw was growing towards my cheek and was hurting. I went to Bear Creek and I was given anti biotic. The xray showed an ingrown tooth in my lower gum pushing against a tooth. I was given a referral for that to be looked at. Fast forward a year later last week I decided to go in and get the tooth that was growing towards my cheek extracted. Again, I was told about the ingrown tooth and recommended a course action, which included addressing the ingrown tooth. I decided that the ingrown tooth should be put on the back burner for another time when i can afford it financially and to go ahead with extracting the one growing towards my cheek. The assistants told Carina Schwartz-Dabney what i decided. Carina came yelling at me and telling me the ingrown tooth is cancerous and that if not addressed asap it'll get pushed down and will break my jaw and that if i was her relative she'll personally be driving me to the dentist to get that addressed. I kept my cool despite her yelling at me and pointing to the x-ray screen above me. I was given some sort of waiver to sign, saying i declined the service she was irate over. I continued to lay in the recliner, waiting for the extraction. 45 minutes later, Carina's assistant comes over and told me it was going to cost me 300+ dollars out of pocket for the extraction. I could not afford it, and so i told her I have to save up for it and contact them when i have the money. She may have yelled out of concern but i certainly didn't appreciate her calling if cancerous abs telling me how it'll eventually break my jaw. I may not be going to any of the dental clinics she serves. This is not to impune her ability nor her profession but just to share how i felt at the time about her tone and choice of words. Please don't get me wrong. My first expertise at this location was the best dentist experience ever. I called on Saturday, i think and was seen the same day. The staff and especially the dentist were outstanding.
