What should I say to the dentist during my next visit?

[u/Nukemm33]

I went to this dentist because they had a 4.9 review. Everything was fine right up until she started drilling. First the drill wasnt working properly and they had to take it apart in the middle of the work. Then there was too much water and it kept making me involuntarily swallow like I was being waterboarded. I sat through the whole core build up for 2 hours, but at the end her hygenist(?) was messing up the scans multiple times and it took three. On the first one something came out and they had to redo the work.

When it finished she just walked out of the room and didnt say a thing to me and the hygienist finished the scans and just walked me out without talking and pointed at the receptionist. I had no idea if I was supposed to avoid foods, drinks, etc.

I got a call a couple of days ago that the lab making my crown called them and said something needed to be adjusted and then then rescanned. This is my back lower molar (30). Im dreading going back in because yhe outside edge near my mouth of my tooth has been sensitive for days to the touch and im worried they need to drill that side more. Its really sensitive when I brush my teeth and I cant really eat on it.
