The new dentists have NO bedside manner. They did not comfort my 4yr old AND drilled on him before and after the Novocain worked. Then yelled at him to stop when he was screaming that it hurt when they drilled his tooth. If you have a bad feeling like I did, YOU NEED TO LEAVE. Once they start you are stuck and I had to watch my child writhe in pain while they worked on him--4 people holding him down to put a temp filling in. I would rather let my baby's teeth rot out of his head than to let them work on him again. I also will be taking my 13 month old somewhere else to assess the damage he has from a fall to his upper, front gums. My 4yr old LOVED Dr. Helmle and WANTED to go to the dentist before this. But Dr. Helmle rarely sees patients now and it looks like he is retiring from his practice--which I totally understand because he's been in practice for 30yrs. But the new doctors are sub-par AT BEST and should NOT be in pediatric dentistry.
