I was Dr. Gershon's assistant when he was working in the U.S. Coast Guard. He filled all my fillings with composite or gold fillings. The reason I am writing this is that today (Dec 1, 2005) I had to have one of those teeth filled again --- that composite filling had been there for a nearly 35 years!!! Even more amazing to my current dentist, I still have several teeth with Dr. Gershon's composite fillings that do not need to be repaired!
I now live in British Columbia and Washington State, so it is not practical to go all the way to New York for a dentist. Back then, Dr. Gershon was just out of dental school - before he studied endodontics - so i assume he has only improved with experience and age!
