Most terrifying dental experience of my life so far. Didn't explain what he was doing, unlike all my other previous dentists. I went to him because his "perfect smile dentistry" little website, which websites are somewhat useful in picking places, but not always apparently.
I will never forget it, I told him I had a cavity I'd been waiting to get treated, and he said, so what do you want to do? I was thinking.... your the dentist!.... your supposed to tell *me* what your going to do, and KNOW what to do!! 1st bad gut feeling I ignored.
I'd only ever had air abrasion, but he was going to do the traditional cavity filling, which I didn't realize. He shot me up, hurt a lot, I cried, he laughed me off and said it was no big deal, as did his fantastic assistant. Then they went across the way to treat someone else and left me for a really long time just crying by myself. Nice. I kept wanting to run out of there, but had never just left in the middle of a dr. appt so I felt too odd about it.
He finished it, long story short, kept hurting where he filled it, I couldn't chew on that side for a while. Had to get the cavity re-done by my previous awesome dentist, 2x the price. I was a mm from needing a root canal :(
About Hygienist: Ignored me when I was distressed... left the room, basically very lame.
I know this doctor: don't want to know him
