Over the years I have seen a few different dentists and the best in the world has to be Dr. Bristol ! He is the most gentle dentist ever. I am the biggest chicken and was terrified of the thought of seeing another dentist. I have some horror stories about other dentists I have seen. I needed a tooth pulled and had no choice but to make an appointment. Dr. Bristol's name came up several times as the man to see. I got up the nerve to call and went in that day. I was nervous in the waiting room. The receptionist was wonderful. She helped keep me calm and told me I was in good hands. When my name was called, I wanted to bolt. My stomach was turning and I was shaking. Dr. Bristol came out and said we could talk first. No harm in talking! I sat in the chair and he was calm and relaxed. He said he wanted to take a look in my mouth. He told me he was going to give me some Novacaine. I felt nothing. He then got up and said he would be back. I asked if I were going to get the shot then and he informed me that he already gave it to me. I was impressed. I never would have guessed a needle was in my gums. I would reccomend him to anyone. He is the greatest!
