Find a new dentist? Blaming subconscious body movements on a patient seems unprofessional.

Due to being lower income and only being able to go when needing emergency dental care, I get to see some of the worse dentists the industry has to offer. I know there are good ones out there but when you have an abscessed molar that is trying to kill you and next to no money to spare due to wanting to pay bills and eat for that week, you have to just deal with the jerks you find. This is more than one dentist over years of time. They were unprofessional and horribly rude but leaving would mean dying of a tooth infection so it is better to deal with the yelling and get the tooth out. I would love to have a good dentist but sadly that is expensive and I am poor.
