Dr. Turner was my dentist when I was on TennCare and dentistry was a covered benefit.
I take good care of my teeth but i do known that crowns and fillings need to be replaced when they wear out, so I consented to what, in retrospect, appears to be more dental work than i needed.
When TennCare no longer covered dental work I sought out Dr. Norman Cohen (since retired) who took over the practice of my former dentist on his his retirement and the first thing Dr. Cohen said when he examined me was "I hate to ever criticize a colleague's work, but..."
Just today, Dr. Radu Pop (Dr. Cohen's fine successor) had to replace a crown. This did not go routinely and it was not the first time my time of poor and unnecessary dental care resulted in "the gift that keeps on giving."
About Hygienist: Unfortunately, I quickly sized up this practice as one practicing race-based "reverse discrimination."
