I was one of the unfortunates that grew up without health insurance, let alone dental insurance. By the time I finally went to the dentist, I was in pretty bad shape. A guy where I worked (UC Berkeley at the time) swore by Dr. Watson; he said that I would never be in pain and that I could rest assured that Dr. Watson was a top notch dentist and that any work done on my teeth would be of the highest quality. He was ABSOLUTELY right.
