I started seeing Dr. Winston b/c he was close to my office and accepted my HMO dental plan. Every time I visited, he was very pleasant and told me my teeth were in great shape. He would clean them with some kind of waterpik but he never scraped them (and I never complained about that since I remembered not liking teeth being scraped). In any event, recently I switched to another insurance plan, a PPO plan and saw a new dentist. She found 4+ cavities!!! She thoroughly scraped my teeth amd was shocked that I didn't have this done for 5 yrs. She found a huge cavity in a back molar that may need a root canal. I'm guessing that Dr. Winston somehow missed this and the other cavities and I'm very disappointed as I was seeing him 2x a year for 5 yrs. Each visit with him literally took 7 minutes or less and left me with a very dirty/wet face while with my new dentist, I'm there minimally 45 minutes each time. I'm very upset with the state of my teeth right now. I was always a little suspicious when he told me my mouth/teeth was great every time. Don't see a doctor that spends less than 10 minutes on your teeth. I'm only 31 and I might be losing one of my molars!

I know this doctor: 5 yrs
