Dr. Smith is skillful but woe unto you if he's not in a good mood. Once while he was fitting me for a cap and the mold material was in my mouth setting, he tried to engage me in a conversation and asked me questions! He once suggested that to achieve perfect occlusion in my mouth he would grind down all my teeth to make them level! I am NOT exaggerating here. This dentist does things his way and won't bother to listen if you feel discomfort with his procedure, as if he's offended by it. He gets angry if you want to see a specialist instead for a specialized dental operation and not have him do the procedure. One of his favorite comments is "a thousand assholes will give you a thousand opinions." Well, that's his opinion. See a sample of his dishonesty in the next section. It just got worse with this dentist so I happily left for a dentist who cares more.

About Hygienist: The most recent hygienist is the first one ever who actually caused some damage to my teeth by overly grinding on the enamel. Her grinding at it was aggressive. I now feel consistent pain in one of my teeth as a result, which occurred immediately after the cleaning. That tooth has become overly sensitive. Dr. Smith is the kind of dentist who likes to cover up his mistakes (on numerous occasions) and would call this result "not possible." It happened, Dr. Smith. On one occasion, he sent me to have my tooth pulled, then when that specialist fouled up and damaged the tooth in front of it, Dr. Smith denied that he created a hole in the tooth in front of the pulled one or that a cap would ever be needed there. Then one year later, he tells me that that tooth needs a cap!
