Asking all practicing dentists to tell me how to identify the best dentist to bet my money and tooth pain on.

I'm so tired of endlessly going through Google reviews which all seem so nice and polished only to end up finding someone either bossy or someone inexperienced leaving me in taking painkillers for the toothache and shrugging their shoulders saying she don't know when I discuss complications in consequences with them.

I'm so tired at this point. Please help me identify this maze. Healthcare almost feels like going for shopping... Bright shops with fancy decorations to lure in the customer.. how do I identify a genuine professional dentist who knows and does the job properly in the middle of this? The reviews seem to be promising for many of them but the truth is clear only on the other side of the consultation fee and I've seen about 4 dentists till now, and still issue not resolved..

I've tried a couple vegetable vendors but have had bad experiences so far. Paid about 100 rupees per mango only to find out rotten from inside ( looked perfect from outside).

I see empty mango cardboard boxes lying in trash and hence I believe there might be somewhere I'm unaware of that has good quality sweet mangoes.

Recently got a premolar cavity filled. It didn't hurt until the last mta sandwich layer was placed yesterday. I've been taking painkillers since yesterday to manage the pain which is basically the entire right half of my head. I didn't needed painkillers till this point, even after the filing was done but I can't do this anymore.

I spoke to my doc and was advised to go ahead with the root canal.

Honestly I don't think I trust the dentist at this point. I want to see some other well-experienced and gentle dentist (I've met authoritative and arrogant ones in the past, so don't want that). Someone who knows their job well and experienced enough to not have experiments on me.

Please suggest a dentist only if you have taken treatment from them and found them genuine, proficient, and well mannered. I know it's rare to find someone who meets all the requirements , so all suggestions are welcome. I'm preferably looking around mansarover or nearby area.

Thanks!
