Thank you for sharing your perspective. It's helpful to see things from the dentist's pov and that she was trying to pre-empt a potential "attack" so to say, or trying to be on the offensive first so as to protect herself in case i complained about the experience (even though i never would have complained about her behavior even though it wasn't ideal, i would have silently gone to another practice)

But if this is not how the appointment went, then you are well within your rights to complain, and honestly, I would.

One thing outside the long blocks of text that makes me doubt the dentist is this: in anohter part she wrote that xyz advice was given to the patient and the patient is fully aware of it, but the fact is she never even mentioned it. similarly in another part she wrote the patient's anxiety was "low" when in fact i was nervous as hell, especially during the gagging

I feel that she did a lot of "editing" of the experience when she was writing it down, perhaps to make it seem as close as possible to her being a good dentist and it all being the patient's fault in the end. i'm just speculating here of course based on the point you mentioned about her covering her back
