I had my toothache for many weeks.But I was too busy to go to the dentist. Finally,I don't have class today. So I make a appointment with my dentist this morning.When I got there,there were many people waited in line. I was so glad that I had a reservation already. My dentist examine my tooth carefully. But it was unusual. When he examine my tooth I don't feel any ache. He couldn't found the problem .Then my dentist had X-Ray on my tooth. When my dentist checkup the X-Ray picture and said: My tooth is healthy. So weird. It cost me one hundred dollars but couldn't found any problem.Maybe I need change a new dentist.

Your posts are filled with many, many usage errors that make them not so pleasant to read. The first one in this post is "my toothache". In English we always say "a toothache" except when comparing, as in, "Well, my dear, your toothache sounds like nothing at all compared to my toothache".
The next serious two are verb tense an article usage: "I make a appointment" should be "I made an appointment". You did the same thing with the article in your post about "An movie 'Click'", which should be "A movie: 'Click'". In both posts you've reversed the rule about using "a" and "an". Please look that rule up if you can't figure it out from your reading.
"But it was unusual" is a nonsense sentence, I'm afraid. The idiom is "But what he found was strange".
And the next sentence is horrible! "He couldn't found the problem ." The first problem here is that you have two past tense verb forms where there should be only one. Please don't tell me that you are a third-year English major. I won't believe you. The next is that errant space before the period at the end of the sentence. And what's worse is that you do it again in your penultimate sentence: "but couldn't found any".
"Then my dentist had X-Ray on my tooth." The correct idiomatic sentence would be "Then my dentist X-rayed my tooth."
Your final sentence should be either "Maybe I need a new dentist" or "Maybe I should change dentists".
Your notion that just because you had a pain and spent NT$100 to have the tooth examined that your dentist should have found something wrong with your tooth is just plain wrong. Sometimes we experience pain when there's no obvious source of pain. Sometimes pain is what is called "referred pain"; that is, the pain actually occurs in one part of the body but is felt in another. You can read about that on this blog:

You should not go shopping for a doctor or a dentist who will tell you what you want to hear but what they actually find.
But you need more than a new dentist. You need a new attitude toward your use of language.
