Our worst experience was at the hair dressers as she cut our boys hair she quizzed them and us with DEEPLY personal questions. I sat there and watched as my sons sunk deeper and deeper into their chairs. They were 3 and 4 and its now almost 6 years later and EVERY time we drive by that shop they say "We wont ever go back there because that lady was rude and mom said so".
Now, I would of QUICKLY ended the conversation, back then I didnt have the guts.
Also we had a horrible time getting our kids immunizations up to date (and I did file a complaint). The receptionist demanded that I give the kids' bmom's name to her so she could do a "search" on their immunizations. I FIRMLY told her that I had their immunization records, their birthmom's name was private information, and that AS THEIR MOTHER, I was making an appointment to get their shots updated.
Of course, then there was the school secretary who (AFTER I HANDED HER THEIR BIRTH CERTIFICATES) asked if they had the same dad. When I asked her how on earth that could be relevant information to her, she replied by saying that "It might come up in the halls and we should know". I said that if it ever came up, I would be happy to address it myself.
Saying all that - I would call the dentist's office and make mention that the exact one thing you didnt want to have happen - did happen.
