My wife goes to this dentist and finally got me to go. Even though I have very good teeth, no cavities, I hate to go to the dentist. Join the club, right? Being a dentist has to be one of the most stressful occupations. Anyway, I think this is a fine dentist and office, but not for me. The hygienist did a fine job cleaning my teeth and I let her take x-rays (not crazy about those either). The dentist did all that was necessary, told me my teeth are fine. He said the only thing he could offer me was whitening, which I declined. So what's my beef? Well, 1) they use (only) a saliva sucker, I prefer rinse & spit in the bowl--anybody still use those?; 2) the dentist used my name about every other sentence. I think he was trying to make me more comfortable, but this kind of fakey familiarity is a pet peeve; 3) He automatically scheduled me to come back in 6 months. Previous dentists have told me 1-2 years is fine for me. So: *I* was uncomfortable, and it seemed my particular needs weren't met as well as possible. So I'll try another dentist next time. To be fair, my wife has no complaints, so I think it's just me. And my teeth were clean.
