    Why haven't you taken your daughter to the dentist when you have her? It is not just her responsibility to do so, and if you need to withdraw her from school for a dentists appointment, then you do that. It is your right.

    You will not get custody just from this.

    I don't think the dentist issue is enough for you to get sole custody regardless of whether your ex is lying about it or not. It's possible that your shared custody gives you the right to see any and all medical records including dentist records, but you would have to ask an attorney about that.
